257 Weatherby

[duckhunter175]

I have a custom LH Rem 700 .257wby with a 26" Bartlein 3b and Edge fill stock-- with optics its right around 8.5lbs.

Makes it a dream to carry and IMO it is the ultimate Texas game gun (deer, pigs, javis). I'm running 115gr VLD @ 3400fps

It's a 1:10 twist rate. Thanks for the info guys. It gives me a starting point. I've got a bunch of Accubond and ELDX 110s, I may try the Hammer 92s too when I start to work up a load.

So this has me thinking Will. I told you my 25-06 barrel is shot out. It's on a Ruger M77 Mark II so the 257wby is out of the question unless I find a mag bolt...but what about a 25 RPM?? I bet that puppy would haul!

Took a lot deer with mine and 115gr ballistic tips
The 90gr blitz kings are pretty awesome on coyotes. It's an underrated varmint rifle imo lol

25-06AI since you already have brass etc

I was thinking that but my 6.5-06AI is 25-06 stamped. I feel if I made a 25-06ai I'd have an accident sooner or later...although I have a bunch of 30-06 Lapua brass I could neck down, turn and trim to make it.

Here is mine. I'm hoping to warm up the barrel this season. I'll either be shooting the 110 Accubonds or the 115 Berger's.

That's a purdy rifle...

Just got mine. Ruger No.1 with a 24" Krieger barrel. Haven't hunted game yet, but love it on the range. 115 Nosler CT over 60 grain of H4831. 3000 fps. Slow I know.
