What bullets must one use for deer with this cartridge? I say must because when I had a 6-284 some bullets would disintegrate on the way to the target. Also my experience with the 6-284 was that Berger VLD bullets did not like to be driven fast for best accuracy. So I am guessing one would want to use Ballistic Tips, Accubonds or Barnes TSX or TTSX bullets. Any other high BC bullets that would stand up to 3600 fps accurately?
Oh man, I hope that's not true on the Bergers, I shoot them in my 308 and my 6.5-284. Granted neither are fast cartridges but I get 1/4" groups out of both of my rifles with them.
I'm building a custom 257 Weatherby right now and have 100 TTSX, 110 Accubond and 115 Bergers on order for load development. I'm really hoping the Bergers shoot well out of it.
Specs on the build:
Stiller TAC 300 Action
McMillan BDL stock, pillar bedded and skim bedded
Kreiger #6 Sporter contour barrel, fluted, 26"
Jewell Trigger
Leupold VX-7 4.5-18 x 56 optics
