Love every aspect of this!
I had a shot out 300 sav.
had a DOUGLAS bechrest contour 1 in 10 .257 barrel that didn’t get used for it’s original intention
so I took them both to the smith
had him fit it snugly & cut it down to 22 “ & about #4 mid weight
chamber it in 250 savage
I bought a...
I found one by complete accedent. ..bought a 7x57 for donner action
Found how how great the lil bugger shot. ..wonderd why& pulled the stock...
Only to find all the flaig ace markings. ..ended up building a lightweight gun for my
Middle daughter ..fits her great ..low recoil absolutely loves...
Thank you for posting the extra data....but I was wondering WHY.? NOSLER 8....
Didn't have a 150 grain data...
Or why nosler inc. Chose not to load it..?
I loaded some up...I will post some results after I get a range day soon.
Maybe it's not a big deal in the real world ?
Just seemed odd to me...
Hogdon shows data for 7-08 & h335 from 100 gain all the way up to 162 grain bulles..
I used imr4350 & RE.17 in mine...4350 & 140 accubonds gave severel odd shaped clover leaf groups
In my opinion if I worked on it I think I could get the re17 to similar groups..
I just put together a 300 blk upper
Shocked to see nosler # 8 only shows data up to 140 grain?? Why I am wondering?
Seems to be very little difference in velocity between 125 gn vs 150 gn balistics tips
Everthing else bieng equal the 150 should work better on pigs or blacktail?
Am I missing...
The 100 grain in 257 is a hunting bullet I believe. ..the 85 gr is a varmint bullet...I have driven the 85s up to 3600 fps in 25-06...don't think you will have an issue
if the bullet length of a 120 to 125 gn .257 stays somewhat close to the 129 lrab 6.5 and you can spin it north of 3200 fps it will shoot in a 1 in 10....that said i doubt they will only build a bullet for 1 or 2 calibers to shoot ...if it is done in the same design as the lrab 6.5 129 my 260 1...
maybe re-state... i shoot .small 257 as well 250sav,.257 roberts. 25-06 & yes 257wby
the subject of the thread was... i have heard they are working on a HEAVY LRAB...
i was not trashing the small 257 calibers or referring to them in anyway ...
i am only interested in hearing about..." if they...
i cant see much difference in a 110 ab we have now...and a 115 lrab in 257 rob or 25-06 velocity
unless they could somehow get the velocity up to 3200 fps or more...
the 110 was designed to increase velocity in small cases ...but still have a bullet that will hold together & penetrate ... but...
i have heard severl questions on the next long rang ab bullet?
anyone heard if we will get a 257 ablr ... maybe a 125 grain..
or atleast 120 grain ... dont get me wrong... the 120 partition has droped
every deer i have pulled the trigger on but .391 used to be a great bc.
now its not even in the...
