Just back from the range. I am going to like that new 257 Weatherby. Factory 100 gr. Hornady chrono'd a little over 3500 at just under an inch for the first 3 shot out of a clean barrel. I tried several handloads and two loads shot under 3/4" at over 3400 fps. I also did some work with the 264 and a new powder, WC872, and think this is going to work well with 130 gr. bullets. I also used it with 140 gr. core-lokts with poor results. Have to work with it a bit moore as the speed was there and no pressure signs but groups were poor. Maybe try some other 140 gr. bullets.
That goose has a head shape like a white fronted/speckle belly male. The legs and feet match also.
