    Bullets????

    Has anyone else have a bullet that you just could not get a good load for and then switch to a differnt bullet and the load is perfect? I have been working on a 120gr PT load for a 257 WBY for some time and have tried about every powder you can think of with no decent grouping. Then I switched...

    257 WBY load

    Greg, I have been doing some messing around with the seating depth this week, and found out that it makes a HUGE differance with accuracy in my Weatherby. I have loads that went from 3" groups down to 1" just by seating the bullet deeper. Because of the Weatherby's free bore I was seating them...

    257 WBY load

    Well loaded up some rounds using H1000. Here is what I ended up with. Nosler 120gr partition, 69gr of H1000, Weatherby case, fed 215M primer, 3.17" COL. grouped .8" with 3125 fps. To me the speed seemed slow. I figured I would be getting close to 3300fps, but the accuracy was good. What do you...

    257 WBY load

    Called Nosler like you suggested. Very helpful. They gave me loads for using H1000 and for RL-22. I am going to load them up tonight and if the weather is nice shoot this weekend. Thanks again for the help. I DID learn alot of new things.

    The Hornday maunual 7th edition shows for a 180 gr w/ RL-22 a starting load of 63.5gr @2500fps and a max load of 76gr @3000fps. This is using a Hornaday/Frontier case, Win WLRM primer and a COL of 3.340". Getting ready for spring bear? I just moved from Anchorage to Minot ND.

    257 WBY load

    My gun has a 24" barrel with a 1-10 twist rate. Here is the process I use for making a load. I look in the loading manual for the bullet I want to load. I look at what powder I have or can get, and I will load up 5 bullets starting at the min and going up by .5gr until I reach max or if shows...

    257 WBY load

    One more thing......Do you think the 100gr bullet would be better than the 120gr for long prairie shooting for antelope and deer? I was thinking the 120 because it would carry more engery down range.
