[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1083031, member: 12995"] When I had my .257 Wby, I was shooting factory Weatherby brand ammo with the 110 Accubonds, and it was good until the barrel started caving in. Killed a few deer with it from 80-250 yards, and it worked fine at those distances and everything in between. When I started handloading when factory ammo became $80 a box, I started using the Berger 115's, but the barrel got increasingly worse and caved in more. So, I never got a good group under 1.5", so I never took it hunting again. Traded it last November, and haven't looked back. But I built a custom .25-06 AI back in Feb 2013, and I shoot the 115 Bergers in it, and it is a phenomenal shooting rifle. I might buy another .257 Wby some day to justify still having all this ammo and brass and dies just sitting here. But if I do it won't be another Weatherby, it will be a Remington 700 CDL SF .257 Wby, since they still make those. [/QUOTE]
