[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1821027, member: 38130"] The 131 BJ will need I believe a 8 twist out of the 257 Weatherby. I’m building a 25-284 with a 1-7.25”. No factory guns that I know of will get you a fast enough twist to shoot the 131 gr. As I posted on AO thread. I’d re barrel to 25-06AI with a fast twist. I’m sure you got brass Already. Fire form 100 pieces while breaking in your new barrel and get close to Weatherby performance. But if you want a 257 Weatherby there’s nothing wrong with that. I totally understand making a change. I do it all to often!! Fun changing and getting a new gun. The 131 BJ is also available in Canada. Which was a nice surprise. Got 500 in the mail as I type this. [/QUOTE]
