Weatherby Select Plus 257 Weatherby Mag 100 grain Barnes TTSX Rifle Ammo, 20/Box – B257100TTSX

257 with laser genetics subzero mounted to leupold 4.5-14 if u can see’em u can kill’em lethal out to 400 inn dead of night

I have two 257 Mag Weatherby’s a custom and a standard mark 5, they have amazing killing power for game up and including Elk. Put away your 06 and your 7mm Rem Mag this does a better job with far less recoil the only drawback is that the ammunition is a bit pricey. So if you want the best…pay for it or start reloading!

THE SPECTACULAR RESULTS FROM HUNTING WITH THE .257. 80GRAIN DOES ONE SHOT KILLS BUT NOT LIKE THE 100 TO 120 GRAIN. IF YOU LIKE DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS. 257 IS THE CHOICE. IT WILL CONSISTENTLY WOW YOU SHOT AFTER SHOT. I SHOT 50-60 DEER AND ANTELOPE (LOST COUNT) . IT COST A LITTLE MORE TO GO FIRST CLASS AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. 4.5 X14 LEUPOLD IS MY FAVORITE ALSO.

I LOVE my .257, have downed several deer with no complaints or issue. I really want to use it on elk? Shots will be anywhere from 100 – 400 yards in my area of BC. So wish me luck. I honestly do not see and issue using this amazing caliber with either the 110gr or the 115gr.

My LH Accumark in 257 Weatherby shoots sub-MOA with 110 grain Accubonds (both the factory load and a handload I worked up that duplicates POI) as well as my favorite 85 grain Ballistic Tip handload. It is a medium game death ray, it makes 400-500 yard shots nearly routine. I have killed a number of whitetails and a couple mule deer with it, and it is a coyote’s worst nightmare. IMO, this rifle & round is about perfect for hunting western North Dakota…

I shoot a Remington Model 700 CDL Fluted chambered in .257 Weatherby . I love it . I’ve killed deer , hogs , and coyotes . If they run after the shot , they don’t get far . What surprised me is , even though it’s super fast it’s as effective at 50 yards as it is at 300. I’m very happy with it.

Living in New Mexico taking 500 yard shots is the normal , I have taken a number of pronghorn at that range, the 257 is a superb rifle for thin skinned animals such as pronghorn and white tail deer , the 257 Weatherby mag is my choice but if hunting for heaver animals such as barbary sheep and mule deer I would recommend the 270 Weatherby mag .

Have hunted since I was a young lad and have use many a different gun, but why is by far the best. Since trying it in the 60s I have been a wby man. Have my 3 go to guns, 300wby mag, 270wby mag and my favorite the 257 wby mdg. There’s nothing out there as far a game goes that I can’t take with these guns. Ammo is not cheap, but when you pay sllot the be in that spot when a big elk steps out and you want a guarantee of the kill, the ammo is not that bad after all. Buy these gun and their ammo, do

I have a wby Vanguard ll in 257 why, with my (safe) handloads I can group 1/2 in all day long. My 100gr Barnes TTSX loads have accounted for 2 elk and 4 deer out to 445yds with ease, all one shot kills. If you can afford a mk v great, if not the vanguard is every bit as superior a rifle as you will ever find.

I have a 257 Weatherby in a Mk V and Vanguard rifles and shoot the spritzer and partition bullets getting very tight groupings at 100 yrds. I have not experienced any difficulty in finding factory ammunition for the 257 or for my 240. If my retailer does not it have in stock he simply orders what I am looking for and I usually receive it within a couple of weeks. Love my Weatherby’s.

I bought my first .257 Weatherby in 1981, just added a Backcountry in .257. 100 gr. SP Bullets are like shooting Lightning Bolts. Many Muleys, Whitetail, & Antelope. Knees buckle and they hit the ground without the mass destruction of many other rounds. Roy made the best round for deer sized game and it is the .257 Weatherby Magnum.

I have 3 Weatherby’s. My beautiful .257 Mark V Delux shoots .75”-1.00” 5 shot groups at 100yds. If your a reloader try 71.5gr IMR 7828ssc with a 100gr Barnes ttsx. Cartridge length 3.170”. My Lab Radar 3565fps. Awesome rifle, wonderful cartridge. Keep up the great work Weatherby.

I have two 257 Weatherby’s both are tack drivers. Shoot factory loads in one 100 grain Spitzer and the other one I shoot 115 grain nosler partitions. Both deadly and drops deer in there tracks. Recommend this caliber to anyone just awesome.

I bought a Mark V in .257 in the mid-70’s for a trip I was planning to Alaska to hunt sheep, goats, black bear and moose.The Alaska trip fell through, but I hunted groundhogs for years with the .257. The difference in terminal ballistics between the .257 and my buddy’s .25-.06 almost has to be witnessed to be believed. I’ll own another .257 if I live long enough.

My favorite deer cartridge by far. My Vanguard Deluxe 257 Weatherby absolutely loves the Weatherby Select Plus ammo with 100 grain Barnes TTSX’s. This combination shoots sub MOA and is devastating on big Montana muley’s and whitetails. My longest shot on a buck has been 476 yards. One shot just above the heart and down he went. I’ve also taken 3 bull elk with my 257. The bulls have all been between 150-420 yards. I won’t hesitate to use it for elk every year. My favorite cartridge hands down.

Love the 257 Weamag! 100gr. Barnes TTSX hits like a lightning strike. My Backcountry 2.0 really likes this ammo and makes a great combination.

Traying to go a little heavier on the bullets for larger animals–Anyone have a good consistent load for the Weatherby .257 Mag using 120gr bullets. Please post

I don’t bow hunt. The reason for that is that when I decide to send one down range, I don’t want to follow a wounded and suffering game animal for a distance into the brush. That’s why I chose the 257 Weatherby Magnum. Whitetails drop like they were struck by lightning and are dead before they hit the ground. The 100 grain spire point is my go-to. It’s sub MOA in all weather, all day long out of my Mark V Deluxe. Do yourself and the deer you harvest a favor and go with this venerable round. Roy knew it was special and that’s why it was his favorite. It’ll be yours too.

I’ve shot many whitetail, mulies, antelope, caribou and elk over the years. I have also had to eliminate many a varmint. I have shot competitively and reloaded my own. NEVER have I had a round hit so hard and kill so cleanly than the 257 ROY. This round was developed by someone who knew their SH&*%t.

I’ve owned a 257 weatherby of some sort since 1997. The first deer rifle I owned was a 25-06–it always dropped dear like lightning. Staring my first job out of college and hunting season looming—I bought myself a gift—it was a G. McMillian Talon in a 257 weatherby—it stepped up my “speed” game. Still have that lovely rifle, also with a super accurate weatherby accumark. We have taken everything from Dall sheep to African plains game with this cartridge…awesome speed and effectiveness on game.
