[DrMike]

Definitely a sicko, infected with the Weatherby bug.

Fotis,

You got stung by a bee and now you are going to have the bee hive in the safe. :mrgreen:

Congratulations buddy on another fine collection.

[FOTIS]

Thank you gents!

 

[SJB358]

Looking forward to seeing that 257WBY. Scotty

 

[FOTIS]

Me too Scottie.

80 gr TTSX at 3900 fps!
smokinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

 

[SJB358]

Man, I can't imagine Fotis! That is really something. Scotty

 

[Scott Spencer]

Fotis - are you going to at least going to keep this collection for more than a month or two? :mrgreen:

I've been giving strong consideration to rebarreling my Win Mod 70 featherweight into a 257 WBY. It is a 30-06 right now that is a 1.5 - 2" gun right now (it is one of the last New Haven rifles and quality is probably crap on the barrel) and the action has been bedded.

 

[FOTIS]

Scott,
I hope to keep it for at least a couple of weeks! :shock: :shock: :mrgreen:

The winnie would be a good candidate for the 257 super sting Bee.!

Nice! One day I'm gonna complete my Weatherby collection. I would like wood MK Vs in .257, 7mm, .300, .340, and .375.

As you know from the 'fire, I just traded into a Vangard in 257 Roy. Very cool. Far from being bitten by the bug; this is my first ever belted magnum, and the 325 WSM I traded for it was my first ever magnum.

I'm looking forward to hearing how the Bees treat you!

Fotis, I noticed that you showed up on the Weatherby Rifle Forum. I guess that you have earned membership there by now! I still only have one Weatherby Mark V (.340). I got the bug for a Deluxe but have fought it off so far.

Keep up the good work Pop, The ultra lights are expensive but NIIIIICE. I'm wishing Wby made a 264. 8)

Yup been there for years.
A 340 Bee is on my list for sure....... :mrgreen:

True Greg they do not, although it would be a nice addition for sure.

I opted for the 257 120 at 3300 fps pretty close to a 264.
My 270 Bee did 3285 fps with a medium load using the 140 AB; somewhat better than a 264. Shot under 3/4" so I am happy.

I know it is a very big overlap between my 270WSM and the 264WM, but they both are sweet cartridges. I think, I might get close to the high 3100's to low 3200's with the 264WM. 130's are really kicking with Retumbo in the 264WM. I have a new found respect for Retumbo in these overbores. It really seems to click as the pressures build to operating levels. Scotty
