Save that brass! At Weatherby ammo prices, you're going to want to start handloading. 😂 BTW I own a Vanguard in 30-06 with a Zeiss scope. It's my baby. ❤

Make it hot, I have a 300weatherby and it rocks. I heard the 257 was Roy's favorite.

Wonderful caliber one of my favorites, I had a Weatherby Vanguard 257,killed several deer but the drawback for me was the shortage of the ammo and when found was price so I ended up trading mine,wish I would kept It😢😢

I remember talking about this caliber with you a couple years ago. Roy's favorite cartridge. Congrats man.

Great video buddy can’t wait to see the groups using different bullets I’m a big fan of the 257 Weatherby mag

I had to do some maintenance on one of our loaders last night. Believe it or not, it was running .257 Robert's. Keep your eyes open guys, there will be some on the shelf somewhere soon.

I started my .257 adventure with a .257 Roberts, it worked ok. Swapped to .257 Weatherby Mag. ….. outstanding results with 120gr Nosler Partition ! Some say expensive ammo….. still cheaper than an arrow with broadhead !!!

Awesome. Good point

Thanks for the video. I have had a set of dies on my shelf for years. I was going to set it up to shoot pasture poodles the next mile over in the bean fields with it. LOL

When I got mine, all I could find here were 2 boxes of the 100g TTSX’s, the previous owner had a partial box of those 110g ELD-X’s, he couldn’t get it to shoot 3 shot groups, same as yours, 2 touching and another outside the group. With my 110g Accubond load, ragged hole groups were the norm. Love the 257 Bee.

Awesome cartridge. Now own 3. Got to love you kids. I like a 115 Nosler pushed by RL 26 = 3,475. Also like the 100 grain Swift Scirocco II at 3,575. Zeroed at 300 yards it only falls 19.5” at 500 yards. This was Roy Weatherby’s favorite cartridge.

This video is going to cause me to make bad decisions... i can feel it. Been waiting for this video for weeks! Ive gotta get one so bad. At this point its a need... not a want

That's a slick looking rifle & obviously killer cartridge choice

Excellent test video extolling the virtues of the 257 Weatherby Magnum. I’ve got a custom build on a Borden action with the bumps with 27” Kreiger barrel and it shoots lights out. It’s really a very undersung calibre in the U.K.,being a very potent flat shooting and light recoiling calibre. I also have a Shilen similar build in 264 Win Mag and it’s even more potent with fabulous accuracy which easily eclipses on energy my Tikka VM in 6.5PRC. I athink your groups might have been even tighter we’re you to tie down your led sled which is same as mine, as although the rifle is essentially being held the same your rest unlike mine is able to move around as I’ve put corner stops to abut the feet against much as would ideally load up the feet of a bipod. Hope we get to see the test of your other ammo soon also maybe some handloads

Awesome fast stuff! 😊

Enjoyed the video as always love the 25 caliber rounds

Can't wait to see more vids on your 257

The old Hornady 120 gr HP was made especially for the Weatherby and 25-06. I use em in the Roberts where they shoot incredibly well and hold together and penetrate. When I was stationed in Montana and Wyoming, newbies would get glassy eyed talking about the Weatherby. No one ever mentioned meat loss. Ever, unless it was pointed out. You will be honest about that part, won't You? Take er easy, have fun, good luck!

Nice looking setup. Weatherby always top quality.

Thats a sweet looking good shooting game getter !

The .257 weatherby magnum is a very good choice for deer. It’s a ballistic sweet spot for a deer caliber.If I didn’t have a few new calibers to stock ammo for I’d be on one myself.If I don’t have a variety of 20 boxes of each deer caliber in stock I feel short handed. Currently diving into the world of 7mm after hunting with ar 10 a few seasons. Keep stocking up for the rainy days and don’t stop putting out great content. I guess you saw Colt has a new bolt gun out

Love my 257 ultra lightweight. Pretty much exclusively handloaded for it with 110 accubonds. Here where I live a person can shoot quite a few animals, and I'm guessing between me and others it's killed at least 50 big game animals. Mostly deer and antelope, but at least a couple bears and 3 elk off the top of my head. Everything has died very quickly and a very large percentage between 350 and 400 yards. No worries about holdovers needed sighted an inch high and can always hold on hair at those ranges. I think Weatherby has a pretty good selection of ammo on their website for most calibers currently. Been looking forward to the videos on this one, and excited to see more.

Good shooting . 257 good caliber. Thanks for sharing 👍

I’ve already watched the factory ammo comparison . I recently inherited a Ruger m77 25-06, that was rechambered to .257 Weatherby in 1991. I harvested my first whitetail as a kid with this rifle . I’m glad to have the memories with my grandfather , and have the rifle back in my hands .

Dont doubt on the lead tips, theyre great for those long range shots that your going to be taking, with great expansion. But those ttsx’s ❤

Sweet! Nice shooting!

Always wanted one and end up buying a mill & lathe and it as one of the first raffles are built. It started off as a 28 inch blank machine down put it on the savage action and handloads with Nosler ballistic tips, 100gr r shoot over 2800 for a second crazy

I was very pleased with the nosler 110 accubond in my 257 weatherby for deer. It exhibited impressive shock effect with surprisingly minimal meat damage.

Hi WTH. I have been looking forward to this video for some time now and i go and miss it. I am in London doing the tourist thing with Mrs 25-06. I will watch it when i get back home. The Hotel Wi-Fi is terrible.

My 257 and 25-06 love 110 gr and up the favorite for mine is 117 gr hornady sst and interlock. Definitely should do some video with the 257 and 25-06 with the same gr bullets I absolutely love the 1/4 bore Definitely some of my favorite

I run 180 gr TTSX in my 300 wby mag, either in reloads or in the select plus gold box. The most accurate bullets I've found for my mark V. Almost cheaper to just buy the factory ammo nowadays. 257 is next on my list of Weatherby buys, I've used them but never owned one myself, it is an ultra destructive round when used on whitetail. I like the new 307, I may make that the next one.

A man of many calibers

Great video I have a 257 weatherby I had to season my barrel might try that tight it up even more

Have a couple of friends that shoot 257 Weatherby mag love the round kills deer like a death ray and both of their guns are extremely accurate round 1/2 inch groups

My .257 Weatherby Meat Eater addition in left hand really likes those 100gr interlocks. Usually. 1in groups but when I install the brake it shoots well under an inch.

Nice looking ring.

It would group better than that. Great video WTW GOD BLESS you and your family Amen 🙏

Looks like groups improve as you go along. Some barrels take a few shots to start shooting straight. My .243 did the same in the beginning, with frustrating cold bore shoots spoiling the groups. After some shooting, the cold bore shots are much less, and the groups are better. Just a thought.

Good group's very nice rifle

My dad bought a custom built one off a Ruger m77. Had it for several years and I think he’s shot it about 4-5 times. Lol. The guy he bought it off of took a mule deer at 997 yards with it.... or so he told us.

Nice rig

I have been reloading 25 cal not the wby mag but 257 rob. And 25-06 and the 25 WSSM and they all shoot the 115gr. Ballistic tip under a inch the Roberts shoots it under a half inch when I did my part it had a 8and a half inch twist I ordered it in a 9 inch twist it came a little bit faster but it shot great

Thanks Whootee. Nice rig. My issue is there really isn't much difference than a 243 for hunting. 243 Ammo in my area is 25% of the cost. 257W Ammo here is $100 bucks a box. Sheeesh.

Sweet rifle!

Whoaaa, that wheatherby ammo is not cheap!

Am looking forward to getting this 307 Weatherby rifle! There is none around where I live at the moment. It won’t be long tho!

Nice groups for a defective rifle! 😮 Twist goes on the inside of the barrel!😂

That is a really good looking rifle man that thing is fantastic I really want one Hootie I want one oh man you know what I would also like to have a pair of sunglasses just like yours

Nice rifle Adam

NICE 👍

My local gun shop has a couple boxes of 257 weatherby mag ammo in stock right now. If you were in WV I’d pick it up for ya

Loving everything about the Weatherby except the fugly spiral fluted barrel! 😱

I’ve used a 25-06 for years. Had a little trouble early on with bullets not expanding changed bullets and have had good success since. Fast flat whitetail catcher for for sure. Looking at Weatherby ammo makes my wallet hurt. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Very nice rig you won’t be disappointed.

Whats your charge of r25 and coal.

If you get into reloading , I have had great results on white tails with the 90 gr.

I have the Remington 700 in .257 what a great shooter with 68g rel22 and 100g barnestxs or nobler part anybody try rel 23 or rel 26 yet they might be better in cold weather especially rel 23

Jim you need to do some videos that no one has done I'm talking about after a animals down a few shots or how to gut it and prep the meat.for good eating it's became a lost art because I think most of these u.tube guys don't know how to even gut a deer because they hunt guided hunts where guides do all the work but I'm sure guys that watch that do their own game could share some good tips

Beautiful big bang looks really sweet you got her all dressed up for a night on the town dude

As of 12/16/23 midway USA has 8 257 loadings in stock and I believe 4 of those are WB

I think that 110gr eldx bullet will be the one that groups the best. Everything I have shot with that ELDX bullet has been a tack driver down to .43 inch groups.

.257 mag I think be my next white tail rifle. The only thing I dontblike is that beyond custom rifles I don't believe you can find weatherby chambered in any other rifle. I'd love to see it out of a Tikka.. if I didn't go with the .257 the other option I would go with would be 25-06 Just for options

You can make 257 from 7mm rem mag brass or 264 wm

Father in law sold his 257 WM. Said it was his most accurate rifle but he was tired of paying 80 bucks for a box of ammo. That was 10 yrs ago

Looks nice. Would like to see a comparison of .257 weatherby mag vs. .257 roberts. But with real ammunition for the roberts. Not the underpowered junk the industry has put out for years because one manufacturer put out a sub standard rifle.

I've got a 25-06 i would love to have a 257.
