    25/06 in something like a Kimber Montana and some 92 grain Hammers might be a good combo

    257 weatherby

    I was running the 100 grain Barnes and now switched to the Hammer 92grain hunter.Farthest shot was 650 and she just stumbled and tipped over with the Barnes.Had some mixed results with Barnes.So far the Hammers have 3 kills-1 at 100yards and 2 between 400 and 450 and great results so far.7828...

    Favorite 44m scope 500 yards

    I have really liked the Zeiss HD 3x15 with the target turrets.Cuurrently have 3 of them and a 5x25 and have been hunted from minus 15 up to 90 degrees and have been flawless. If you watch the classifieds you can find them under $700.Send Kenton the info on load and you should be stoked

    anyone have any load data or experience with barnes .25 cal. 101 gr. lrx bullets in 257 wby. mag.

    Give 7828 ssc a try-very accurate with both Barnes 100 ttsx and 92 Hammer .With the Hammer 74 gr is arount 3830fps.

    Help me decide: Minimum caliber for larger NA game

    300 win Mag 300 wsm 7 mag Plenty of of factory ammo choices- maybe shoot the lighter 168’s for better recoil management.

    Mark V .257 WBY advice wanted

    If you reload and run a 10 twist check out the 92 grain hammers. Running them north of 3800fps ( probably could get more) into little groups with 7828 ssc.. Running a Zeiss HD 3x15 with good luck . Have fun it is a fun one.

    .257 Factory load recommendations

    Think Steve at Hammer has someone loading custom ammo for them and might not be that much more then factory if you want to try the hammers.I had either great luck with the ttsx and then a few that werent so good is why I am giving the hammers a try.Hard to go wrong with the noslers

    .257 Weatherby Backcountry scope recommendations

    I am running a Zeiss hd 3x15 with a Kenton turret on my 257 bee.Very simple and worked well to 650 yards.I change from 100 grain barnes to the hammers recently and changed the turret-so far all 3 of those scopes have been flawless. I second the 7828ssc! Would also check out the Swaro line
