[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2894855, member: 95344"] Man I don't have a 257 WBY nor have I hunted with one. But I have developed loads for them many years ago. I think the ELDM would be too splashy close in given the reports on then with impacts at 2600 fps with other calibers. I'm going to load the 180 ELDM out of my 7mm RM but with impact speeds around 2300 fps or less. The ELDX is tougher but still might still fragment too violently at WBY speeds. I think I'd want a Nosler Ballistic Tip at at a min at those speeds. Matt Smith would load a 100 gr Ballistic Tip out of a 6.5-280AI and take big elk so my best guess that in a 257 WBY the 115 gr BT would work well too. [/QUOTE]
