.257 Weatherby load???

[h2ofowlr]

I gave the Federal 115 gr. Trophy bonded bear claws a go at 100 yards.  The gun did not like them.  Spent about two hours to shoot 16 rounds as I was breaking it in.  Sand bags and on a bench and couldn't pull a group.

We load 100 gr Barnes, they are fast, flat, and last year my son shot through both his moose's shoulders three times at 300 yards. Try them.....

I have had a couple 25's that flat out would not shoot 115/117's but rip bugholes with 100's. I have had 2 that liked rl 22 @ 72 grains. Work up to that as I use 7rm brass. Expect about 3600fps.

I've shot mine with 100gr SP Hornady factory. Seems to like them pretty well. It's only been sighted in on paper so far. They didn't fly all over the place.

I just bought the dies for my new 257 weatherby mag I plan on working out my loads this coming weekend to see what will be a good load for my rifle. I plan on using h4350 with the federal 212 primers.. I will post load data once I  test them out.

where do you all test your loads out at?

I normally go to renton fish and game but i found out there is another range closer to me in black diamond.

yeah sorry I was reading my 7mm projectiles and not my 25 cal projectiles the correct projectile's are 117gr not 162 those are for my 7mm mag
I just finshed loading my 7mm mag for my sons rifle. as for the box was down on my loading table and the 257 was already put away.

I am finding out that this gun will break the bank if I keep playing around with various factory loads.  Picked up a box of the .257 WBY Mag. factory ammo in the 110 gr. Accubonds.  It tightened down the group, but still not where I want it to be.  From a few posts, it sounds like the 100 gr. bullets have been working for there .257.  If I don't get the group I want, I may pull the barrel and go with a different caliber an affordable one for shooting.

I'm shooting 110 gr. Accubonds with 67.5 gr. of RL 22 and Federal 215 primers.  Finally grouping pretty good at 3403 fps average velocity.  They do seem finicky though!

I've bought all my ammo from www.grafs.com since I don't reload, yet! They are Weatherby 100 grn sp for $35.59 each. I bought 6 boxes. So now I'll have 120 rounds of brass to reload, cheaper than buying the brass to reload, right ?
