[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2053549, member: 10429"] I use to have a 257Wby and shot the nos 115 grn balistic tips. Its what Wby used to factory load. I took a goat at 500yrds. Bullet went through ribs and off side shoulder. About a quarter size exit hole. Goat was dead on its feet. I also took a mule deer at 300yrds with same load. Bullet almost exited. Bullet was turned inside out. I would think the 110 or a 115 would do the job just fine. My wife shoots an 87grn VLD out of her 243. I also shot another goat at 247yrds and the 115 put bigger hole in that one on exit. If you had a tighter twist barrel there is a 131g or a 130ish bullet made by someone just don't remember. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
