I know you were joking here, but I did note an interesting mistake on my part that may have opened up that one Barnes group. Not only did some resized RP 7mm Bee brass get mixed in there, but I somehow primed it w/ a Win LR-M. I am thinking that perhaps the fact that 2 of those 3 were Normas primed w/ CCI250s and 1 was and RP-7mm WM primed w/ a Win LRM that it could explain the "toss" that opened it up.
I'm told that the driving bands on the TTSX allow for better velocities with that bullet than with the Etips, but that remains to be seen.
Either way, the fact that I'm getting Etip seconds at half the cost of the TTSXs will certainly come to bear on which projectile I run with.
I'll definately post results here when I run the same loads over the chrono and test these projectiles w/ IMR-7828SSC.
I hope y'all enjoy our weekend celebration of the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world!

Is that three Weatherby rifles, or three rifles chambered in Weatherby rounds? If the second, I'm almost there. If the first, I may never make it. (Remington 700s in .257 and .300, like to add a 7mm and .340)
On second thought, do Vanguards count? :mrgreen:

YUP they do.....
Unfortunately it takes a Mark V to become a Queen Bee.
The rest are Worker bees!
Man where do I come up with this stuff? I need help!

I don't know, I always figured the "queen" would be the Lasermark with all that carving and inlet ivory and whatnot.
Wait... you said it takes a Mark V to BE a queen? Or did you mean that a Mark V IS a queen?
Knowing the connotation of queen these days, and that you have a few Mark Vs, I'll assume you meant the latter and NOT the former :lol: !!!!!!
The more I think about this, the more I wonder why I shouldn't pick up a 340 Weatherby barrel for a Savage 110 action I have lying around...
Happy 4th all!

efw,
Do it!
The 340 Wby is pretty impressive and a true long range hammer. Load the 338 250 gr AB with a BC of .575 at 2900 fps and hold on. :mrgreen: FWIW, you shot my 338 RUM with those wonderful 250 gr AB's at 2980 fps. :grin:

I've got a 33806 AI barrel ordered right now... a RUM or EDGE really makes most sense since there is SO much action there!
How do y'all like this stock for my new Roy:

efw,
I like that stock A LOT! It would give the 257 Bee that sexy sting look!
Change the barrel to 26" and drilled for 338 RUM.
I have several loads that are plug and play. You will love the down range performance of the big 338's!
In fact, I will bring my 338 RUM out on our next range session. :wink:
