Hey guys,
Just got the 257 Weatherby Cooper 24 inch stainless barrel in. Looking for the fastest accurate loads to use. I want to use scirocco ii's and get them as fast and accurate as possible, what powders primers etc.. to use? Going to hunt deer, hogs, maybe a bear (Tennessee area game) I dont load but my friend does and am trying to find a place to start to work a load up. I like the higher bc rounds and was going to ptobably sight it in at the maximum point blank range. Going to put a vortex amg 6-25x50 on it. was thinking about working up a 2nd round for varmints and such, maybe the 90gr blitz kings or 100 gr ballistic tips so they blow up on impact and dont pass through like a ttsx. If i were to do a all copper round would you guys recommend the ttsx or the nosler etips? Nosler looks pretty promising..i guess it sounds like i am shuffling around all over the place and want to use this puppy for everything. I am coming up from a tikka 243 that shoots the hornady varmint 58 grain shells. I am not great at ballistics and want to try to make shooting this rifle as simple as possible. I have a range finder but i dont have the data to make calculated adjustments on the scope. Maybe eventually it will be shot enough to know what or where to adjust. Maybe at the end of the day it will just shoot the scirocco ii's if i can get them to be sub moa or in my dreams half moa. Any help or guidance is appreciated and feel free to bring me back down to earth.
