I agree and stated that using these bullets was only a handloaders option and that if he wanted the best performance out of any round, be it a 22-250 to a 378 Wby, its best to handload so please review that portion of my previous post.
My comment was only to educate that there are much better options now days in the 257 family of bullets then there used to be.
On the BC topic, I will not get into that with you again simply because there is no point in trying to logically explain my point and provide my actual load development data, range testing data and field results when you seem to simply ignore all the actual testing we have done and simply state to the world that I have no basis for my claims.
As far as Richard not caring about BC, why would he build these bullets if he was not interested in BC? He just expects his customers to be big boys and do their own testing which we do with any bullet we use at long to extreme range.
I will say this though, Wildcat Bullets offers the highers BC 257 caliber bullets in the world that I know of. If you can not agree with me on this one with the availability of the 120gr ULD RBBT, 130 gr ULD RBBT, 130 gr FBHP, 140 gr FB, 142 gr ULD RBBT and 156 gr ULD RBBT then I'm even more sure this topic is not worth discussing with you.
I had a feeling your apology on the last post was insincere, now I know that as you can't stand not to start the fight up again.
All I was stating was that there are much better 257 bullet options available now that turn the 257 rounds into legit long range deer rifles.
I do not remember mentioning the round I was using them in besides the 257 STW which I am sure you are fine with, no HAWKING....
Now that we have hijacked another thread, lets stop this topic before it gets out of hand again.
Paulius,
I apologize for the derail of your post, I was just offering information on bullets that will greatly improve the ballistic and termnal performance of your 257 WBY. I have personally used these bullets on big deer here in Montana and they performed great out to 510 yards last fall. This was in a 257 STW which will offer 200 fps over your 257 Wby but you will still gain tremendous ballistic and terminal performance using the 130 gr BCFBHP if youcould find someone to load for you. Get a set of dies for $40 and get a friend to help you load your ammo, compared to Wby factory ammo you will get vast improvements as well as saving alot of money in ammo costs.
With the 257 Wby loaded with the 130 gr BCFBHP to top velocities it will match the 270 and 7mm Wby in trajectory and for use on game up to 350-400 lbs, will penetrate as well also.
Ian, Dave, Len,
I apologize for the derail, it was not my intention I promise you, just offering information useful to the topic at hand. Seems that Wildcat Bullets can not even be mentioned without John M thowing the BS flag. Its to bad really..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
