Peterson vs weatherby/norma brass for 257 Wby

[FEENIX]

HOLY mother of…

Do they plan on using any sort of bore rider design for the 180? Seems like you might start to get a LOT of friction and pressure issues if they don't with such a long bullet

Let me know when they come out if you remember, my next barrel will be a 7 twist so as long as that stabilizes it I plan on at least giving them a try and see if my gun likes them

Negative on the bore rider. None of their bullets have any. I do not know if you know Swamplord but he did a lot of tests with his wildcard without any issues.

I scored some Norma 257W brass from Raven Rocks Prec. on sale earlier in the year. I also picked up a couple boxes of factory ammo to try. The 92 HH factory load shoots under and inch and does 3704fps out of my M 307

I would still think you could see velocity gains by going bore rider or hammer bullets style ribs to minimize drag while it's heading down the barrel. But I still definitely would love to try some 180's when I put a new barrel on this rifle

Unlike solids/mono, except for DRT, C&C does not need it or is required, otherwise every bullet makers will be doing it.

Interesting, why is that do you think?
