Welcome to the best forum on the web. Pull up a chair and enjoy. Great setup you have. I have been handloading for a 357 Bee for ages! If you need anything just ask. Great folks here.

Glad to have you on board, CAhunter. I believe the fellows here can be a source of great information for you, and you will no doubt make a contribution as you participate. The 257 Wby is a great rig, and that is some serious glass you have on top.

Nice looking rig you have there. What load(s) are you shooting?

Hardpan,

Which side of the Bay are you on? I lived in Daly City for several years while conducting post-doctoral work at the med center. I still have a number of friends in SF, Vallejo and Walnut Creek.

POP......Could you send me one of those 357WM cartridges as I do not have one for my collection and they must be rare??? :wink:
Just being a smart ass
This IS a great forum and the people on it are civil about things.

JD I have just started on the 257 but am playing with the 100grTTSX barnes. I am using norma brass, 215M primers and have just started with Ramshot Magnum. I also have h1000 RL22 RL25. I havnt shot them yet but hope to as soon as CA deer season is over(2 weeks). Ill post pics as soon as I shoot them. Thanks for the welcome guys!

The 100 gr Barnes TX is a proven performer and should seal the deal for you. Nosler will be introducing a 100 gr E-Tip in the future. That one should be a dandy bullet to try. :grin:

Hi Dr Mike,
I am in Livermore, east bay, almost out of the area.

Hardpan,

I've been there on several occasions. I harvested pig ovaries at an abattoir in Stockton for a year during research in OB/GYN at USCSF Med Center. It took me through the area. There are quite a few fellows from CA here. There was some good country there, but I never got to hunt while doing post-doctoral studies. I did a little fishing, and that was it.
