I have tried quite a few and I keep going back to the 115-grain Partition. It shoots as good as anything else I have tried and I have never wanted for more expansion or penetration.

I'd have to say my favorite is my Kimber Select in 257R.

This year I used a Kimber Montana in 257 Roberts with a Leupold VX-2 2-7x33 and couldn't be happier.

It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

I'm in the same dilemma right now.

257 Weatherby. As an ode to Pulp Fiction... It's a BMF!

All joking aside. I've had more DRT kills with a 257 Weatherby than any other cartridge owned. It's an amazing killer.

Another vote here for the fantastic 257Wby. For my particular hunting, which is almost always over large bean fields, my custom Pre-64 in 257Wby is ideal. Zeiss 4.5-14x50 up top with turrets gives me the option if I really want to stretch out there, but I can just hold on hair out to 400yds using a 100gr TTSX. It's definitely no lightweight, but I usually don't haul it very far anyway and the extra weight really helps me get steady for those longer shots.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Definitely my 257 wby as well. 99.99% of the hands it's killed has been A. With a 100TTSX, B. An impressive DRT.

I might as well jump on the .257 WBY bandwagon. Killed this one Thursday afternoon. First critter I've shot at with the old Bee!

Nice to see a Bama boy get a Nice Deer!

AMRA, The scope is a Burris Fullfield II 3X-9X-40mm. It was given to me as a bonus from a good customer when I got the gun.
I have a Zeiss for it, but I might as well stick with the Burris for a while. smile The load is plain ole Weatherby 100 grain spitzers that were originally bought for target practice and once fired brass. I've been working on handloads for it, but they need some fine tuning yet.
I didn't know there was anywhere in Alabama that one could go that long without killing a deer. You may want to move around a bit?

Thanks for the information!
I am STILL trying to get ANY deer with my 270 WBY!
It is just my JINX bad luck
Son in law got a nice 7 point this year his best ever.
It is a running joke on me here in my family and in laws
my getting skunked EVERY year but it is what it is!
Been hunting here in Alabama since the late 1960`s to now
and in ALL that time just 3 deer total to show for it.
But I still love just to go and be out in the Woods and
enjoy the peace and quiet.

That`s why my Nickname with my family and ALL the guys I have worked with ALL these years is Jinx!!!!
I made my peace with it a long time ago.
I do enjoy hearing about ANYBODY getting ANY deer from a meat doe to a big old buck!
I just ain`t a good hunter but my late father didn`t raise
any Quitter`s!
Good to hear ya`ll have had a great season!
AMRA
