.257 Wby

[boomer68]

Just bought myself a nice new Vanguard SS and looking for load suggestions. Also, is it best to use only Wby brass or have any of you fellas resized 7mmRM cases?

Thanks

Easy!

110 AccuBond and RL22. You should get 3400 fps + from your 24" barrel. Also RL25 and IMR 7828 will get you there. Start at at 62 with rl 22/7828 and add 2 more grains as a staring point for 25. Work up carefully.

Thanks POP :grin:
Should I stick with Wby brass? Have you tried or used Ramshot Magnum?

boomer68,

I have tried the 110 grain AccuBond in mine with the best results so far being with RL25. You can refer to my post in this section to see what I have done.

I for one do not use Weatherby (Norma) brass. I bought 150 rounds of 7mm Rem. Mag brass and have been using it. It comes up just a little short, but heck, I'll probably never have to trim the stuff :grin:

Never used Ramshot. Yes stick with norma/wby brass. I do for all my "bees" :twisted:
