[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2830409, member: 109862"] Heck yeah!!!!! Very good to see some real numbers, didn’t doubt what I’ve seen with my own eyes to begin with but you know there’s always part of my analytical mind that says if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. But having played with some hammers in my 257 Weatherby, well, seeing is believing and I believe. And that’s with the hammer hunters too! 75 grain bullet at 4170 fps out of a 24 inch barrel no signs of excessive pressure (no more than weatherby factory ammo that’s for sure). Once I “liberate” some of my occupied 257 brass I have some 90 absolutes to try too. Also, just one a used barrel on auction for cheap…bartlein, 257 cal, no idea the twist as I need to get to the city to pick the dang thing up now but it’s 32 inches long…presently a .25-06 ai chamber, very much considering rechambering to 257 wby or even a .25-300 wby haha. The throat is a little worn on it And the goal is not a tack driver but a pure Experiment in seeing just how freaking fast I can go 😁😁😁😁. I know it’ll be fastest with hammer bullets God bless.
