Bet you didn't have to look for that one. Good job.
Back in the day, WBY sold 110 grn ammo for the 300 WBY. I did not have a chrono then, so I do not know what the MV was

Don't you know it. I've hit whitetails with numerous calibers and loads, and while the majority have been DRT, some of them ran surprising distances with destroyed hearts, lungs, etc.

Congratulations on a successful hunt.

I've killed quite a few deer with my 257 WBY and the two bucks that I shot using the 110 accubond ran further than any other deer that I shot with the big 25. I really wanted to like that bullet but I stopped using it because I've come to expect anything that I shoot with that rifle to be laying on the ground when I regain my sight picture after the shot. Killed quite a few with various cup and core 100 grain bullets and they always drop. The ones that I've shot with the 115 grain Berger have dropped as if hit by a thunder bolt!
Killed a few animals lately with the 101 Barnes and they are performing well but they don't have the BC of that 115 Berger.

I am trying to figure out the best powder to use in handloads for the 257 Weatherby Mag with the 115 gr VLD hunting. Are you handloading?? Appreciate any info you can give me. (Loaded 20 rnds yesterday with H1000 with 4 different powder charges.)

I tried several powder but h1000 and rl25 have served me well. But I got best accuracy max load . When I hit pressure but be very careful every gun is different
