Yeah Lee, I'd be for double checkin' those loads outa the original article. A might conservative on the Wby loads and I suspect a bit hot on the STW side. Haven't seen a wby yet that wouldn't edge 3700 with a 26" barrel with a healthy dose of RL22 and a mollied 100. As has been mentioned, I think Layne's loads mighta been a tad hot like pushin' 70K plus on the 7STW and I doubt he was any more conservative on the 257. Just from my personal experiences, I never felt comfortable pushin' more than 3800ish outa the 27" STW I had without seein' pressure signs real quick and that was runnin' molly. I can push 36ish outa the 24" wby I currently run with nothin' remotely troubling.

I have a 257 stwwith 26 inch barrel (Hart #5) gets 3815 with nosler 100gr and 3650 with 115 nosler and can cover target with a dime. Deer readily detest it. Just put in on hair out to 475yard, but we dont shoot it much except at game due to the velocity, Luv mine, but heavy to carry
There are fools and damn fools, which one are you?

I have dies an action and bullets/brass for a 257 stw and all i need is a tube. I am pretty sure if I do it it will be from a 28" tube.
