The .257 Wby. was Roy Weatherby’s favorite cartridge, so that would make sense.
I’ve built a few wildcat .257’s in the last few years so this will be interesting to see what happens.
Let’s not forget it’s the hunters skill at hunting, his ability to shoot well, and the bullet to finish the...
Very similar charge weight to what I used with Retumbo in my older 6.5/300 WSM Kimber Montana, although I was using a traditional cup/core lead 140 gr. bullet @ 3055 fps.
I Totally agree with you and the plethora of 7 mm cartridges that we have available today. It’s almost bordering ridiculous how many are out there to promote the sale of a new rifle.
For Hornady it’s to promote their brand of ammunition. Nosler’s versions of their cartridges was already the...
Yah, something is wrong. I taped over the hole and nothing! Not even hitting the cardboard!
Now I put up a 4’x4’ piece of cardboard to see what is going on!?!
Why it changed 2.5 mils high I don’t know, but I turned the elevation up and down a few times after the second shot that went to POA...
I had an issue with the O-Ring under the turret cap fail which I just removed, but I had to re-zero the rifle. So I thought I’ll foul out the gun and zero it with 165 gr. Woodleigh’s.
This is with RL16, and a mild load too 56.0-56.5 for the first three shots, but I had to wonder…. Are they...
Well that’s a shame Guy, you were imbedded with Gavin Gear and helping him out so I thought you found your holy grail job!?!
But I understand completely with your decision. Oklahoma has a lot of great people, Tate Skeeter of Impact Precision, and CRB Custom Rifle Barrels that was Hawk Hill...
All I can say is that my income didn’t go up 27% since 2018-‘19.
All this begun with the increase in wages, then more during Covid. Now Starbucks workers are getting paid an average wage of $30 per hour and they are ready to strike for more pay!?!
When you have to pay for higher wages, the...
I remember when you first wanted to have a barrel spun up for your Super Mashburn, and how much I enjoyed reading about that cartridge in Bob Hagel’s books so long ago and you made that possible for yourself! Super round in 7mm.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Scotty! May you have a...
I just shot this 3 shot group off my bench @ 250 yards. I got bad dope from my Shooter App, it called for 8/10 mil @ 250, but my previous three shots @100 weren’t dead center. So I’ll have to fix that.
Looks like a 2” group to me @ 250 yards. Plenty good for hunting game IMO, but honestly I...
I don’t want people to think that I’m not impressed with Nosler bullets. If fact I’ve had better luck finding exceptional loads with them than not!! I’ve also killed more game with them than anything else too!
But I’ve also had good luck with a lot of the other players that make bullets too...
I’d be cautious about using any load data over 50K psi with your action. Better to be safe than sorry. Originally it was designed to handle 45K psi, or 40K cup.
Now as most of you know I am a Nosler fan when it comes to hunting bullets. That said, until the Fat Lady Sings, or in this case produces 3/4” moa groups or less I’m not in a dating mood! But I’m also not one to spend my time and money wasting components and barrel life chasing the death trap...
Great to relive your hunting experience in this beautiful and well done video John.
I read your posts and few weeks ago, which were pretty well written and informative in every aspect. That said there’s nothing quite like seeing how your story unfolded and watch what took place.
The story...
Well for whatever it’s worth I guess I’m not the only one that couldn’t get them to shoot, I just went back to Ballistic Tips, and Partitions. But I have had better results with the standard Accubond vs the LRAB’s.
It’s basically a 300 Jarrett. H4831, VV N165, RL22, and 25, anything slow burning.
My old load was 84.0 H4831sc/F215M/ in 300 Jarrett brass @ 3.6450” coal using the old 165 MRX Bullet, discontinued long ago for being armor piercing as well as penetrate the full length of an elk. It was going...
