[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2553956, member: 11101"] I have two 257 Wbys, a Vanguard and a Mark V. I have shot bullets up to 130 grains in them and they stabilize just fine. Factory barrels and factory chambering. Remember the long freebore in the Wby will allow you to seat the bullet out as far as you can in the magazine. I did find out that Roy was right, the jump to the lands allowed more powder to be used without causing an increase in pressure. Seating them too far out (single shot, too long for the magazine) would show an increase in pressure with the same amount of powder vs. shorter seating and allowing them to "jump". [/QUOTE]
