my first 257 Weatherby mag was built by Jerry Siminson back in the late 80`s on a Remington 700,i used a Lilja barrel and that rifle at 100 yards shot 1/2 inch at 100 yards with 100 grain Nosler Partitions at 3800 fps. yes those cartridges were hot but that Partition still shot well and at 600 yards I could keep them in a 4-5 inch group with a bi-pod laying down,i did use a 20 power scope and at a measured 625 yards I killed a real nice buck antelope on the first shot with a 100 grain Nosler Partition. nobody is ever going to tell me that old Nosler Partition is not accurate enough for hunting, matter fact I have a stash of a couple thousand just in case, next year I will be making my first trip to Alaska for moose and my handloads will all be loaded with Nosler Partition bullets , my reason is I can always trust that Partition bullet to get the job done.
