Anyone loading for a 257 Weatherby?

[aaronward9]

Any of you guys load for a 257 Weatherby?? Specifically a Rem 700 CDL SF?

Just picked one up and wondering if anyone has experience loading for it?

Thanks!

Hey, I’ve loaded a bunch for a buddy. We tested Hornady and Barnes- settled with the Barnes- groups less than .5” from his Weatherby after bedding by Shooters Den in Watkinsville. Around 1.25” or so before work with the Barnes- really surprised us. I’ll shoot you a pm with my number if you want the data- I’ll be in my reloading room all day tomorrow cranking out 357s and 38s.

I've loaded for one for a while. 26" 10twist Barrel. I found excellent results with a 100gr Barnes ttsx and 115gr Berger. Using Fed 215s and RL22 for both. I will be moving on to RL23 soon I'm on my last lb of RL22. I've used Nosler and Weatherby brass. Seems like the Nosler was the best of the two.
