Are we talking 400 yards in terms of energy at that range? I'm thinking a heavy bullet at those speeds may have quite the arcing trajectory. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I've noticed in my short time on this forum that there is some serious love for the .35 Whelen. If I didn't know any better I'd think some kind of sickness is going around. Why is it so sought after? Won't any of the traditional calibers work just as well? How does it compare to the 300 or...

It's reverse psychology. If I can get you guys to talk me out of it, that will make me want to buy it before I don't want it anymore. :scratchhead: That made sense before I typed it ...

That stainless on black is sharp

Is baiting for bear legal in AZ?

Whew...! I dodged a bullet. I went to Sportsman's and wisely didn't lay hands on the Vanguard. I'm proud of myself for not giving in to temptation. If I am a little patient, save a little bit more and maybe sell one of my other guns, then I can get the .257 guilt free. They had a Vanguard S2...

My application is in, too. Deer and turkey on the Kaibab.

True. But I can choose the stock and trigger of my liking if I do it myself. But I'm not gonna do it. Not yet anyway. Somebody help me resist.

What can a 257 Weatherby do that my .308 cannot? I mean, really?

I'm going to Sportsman's this afternoon. I don't need a Vanguard S2 .257 Weatherby. Please talk me out of it. It's too expensive to shoot. It's too hard on barrels. It's over-rated. Many other cartridges do the same thing. It's not big enough for elk. Anything 6.5, 7, or 30 is better.

I was reading your numbers wrong. I see now that they are relative to a 250 yard zero. For some reason I was thinking 300. That's pretty close to the trajectory that I came up with at 2910 fps.

At what velocity are you getting these numbers?

Lots of jacks around my place this spring, too Lots of fun putting the smack down with the .17 HMR

Thanks! So you are using the horizontal tape for a holdover mark?

Your link didn't work for me.

257 Weatherby 300 yd zero: 30'06 250 yd zero:

If I zero at 200, that gives me a 9" drop at 300. I could theoretically a hold on a buck's back at that distance and still hit the vitals

So I'm going antelope hunting in southern Utah this fall. My hunting mentor/co-worker is telling me to sight in my '06 at 300 yards. I gotta say, I'm skeptical. My RAR '06 likes Federal 150 grain soft points, and zeroed at 300 gives a 10" arc from 100-350 yards. He's telling me that 300...

I have no idea where to put in, so I put in for 13A & 12A. Two highly unlikely units.
