My friends and I have had a great success with our 257 Weatherby semi customs. Seven rifles (Dan has two) built using a slightly altered 257 Weatherby reamer with .100" freebore and a 1 1/2 degree throat angle. We only use 115 Berger VLDs. Lilja 3 groove SS barrels for all rifles. Five rifles use RL-25, one uses H-1000 and mine uses RL-33.


I would suggest you give RL-25 a try with your 110 accubond. I also tried RL-33 with the 110 accubond. It yielded excellent accuracy and slightly higher velocity.

Quite frankly I would rather use the 115 Berger VLD with its higher BC. It has no problem killing. To date the aforementioned rifles have killed 20 coues wt, 2 antelope, 6 elk and 4 mule deer. Some of these kills are very spectacular DRTs.
