257 Weatherby 92 Hammer Hunter Factory load pulled?

[DLJ6]

Has anyone pulled one of these yet to check the charge?
I am very impressed, the first three rounds out of my 307 did:
3702.2, 3704.8 and 3704.2fps according to my Garmin at 500ft.
Sub MOA. I will pull one and report back if anyone hasn't yet. I am concerned they may've used RL-26.

By comparison, my hand loads of 77.0grns of Ramshot Magnum under a Barnes 80grn TTSX lit by a Fed215 only averaged 3611.0fps at 1525ft elevation but was also sub MOA.

I was getting 3650 with the Barnes 101 lrx, I would highly doubt weatherby is using rl26.

**** that's smokin. I agree with Dmagna, I doubt very seriously they got their hands on enough RL 26 to start a factory line of ammo. Wouldn't be good business as they would not be able to retain the line for very long.

The 257 Wby is IMO one of the best unnoticed for flat shooting and precision.

I have one on some Wby action not sure which. Um, I have guns in safes not opened for a bit...
