I am going the 257 Weatherby route. I get different info on twist rate, Black Jack says 1-8" but others say 1-7". Any down side to 1-7"?
Will the Bergers hold up at Weatherby velocities?
There was a series of those long bullet cartridges in 22, 25, 6.5 and I think 7mm. They were called the Arch or Condor depending on the creator. One account was of a hunter putting a 125 grain 224 bullet through both shoulders of an elk. Barnes made the bullets out of copper tubing.
https://bergerbullets.com/new-25-caliber-135-grain-long-range-hybrid-target-bullets/Was hoping these were the Hunting bullet, but the heavier jacket of the target style may be a plus at the ranges I shoot. If anyone finds where to get these please PM me as I bet they will go fast.
Just saw that they have a 133 grain hunting version too, it is not even on the Berger web site. McGeegunstocks.com is taking pre-orders but they are selling mostly the 500 box. I will see if I can get the 100 boxes to test before getting 500 of them.
