[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1967678, member: 1290"] Something I always wanted to do. A 257 Weatherby with a 30" barrel. Now it's almost done. It is a Bartlein 5R 10 twist on a Mark 5 action. Years ago I read some outrageous claims like 3900-4000 fps with 100 BT or 110AB grain bullets. Has anyone tried this as an exercise in speed? I know there are far better BC bullets. As a 26" rifle it did amazing things to 400 yards. I have shot a few deer and bear with it and it takes digger squirrels apart like nothing I have ever seen before. Any pet loads? Brass life isn't a big concern. I have hundreds of them. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
