[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1595044, member: 10178"] The 100 Sierra is a really accurate bullet but in my experience it is way too fragile at Weatherby velocities to use as a deer size game bullet unless the impact is 300 yards or beyond where it has slowed down some. Back when my buddy and I were working with the 257 Weatherby both in a factory rifle and a custom with shorter throat about the only suitable powder was H870. We were mainly concerned with using them on white tail deer over bean fields mostly. We did not have the bonded bullets like today so cup and core or the then coming about mono bullets which were not as reliable as they are today was all we had to work with. We settled on the Nosler 115 Partition as our deer bullet because it worked for close in shots as well as longer rangers. [/QUOTE]
