Hope you like it!

@@ReloadingWeatherby I liked it but the cinder blocks I shot don't.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

Yes sir!

Nice, can't wait to shoot mine

Thanks

It's pretty insane

Not with those kind of bullets though they are basically target rounds

@@WayStedYou agreed

Elk don’t need much more than a 115 grain 257 hunting round. I don’t recommend more than 300 yards though.

I'm only going to use mine for Mule deer, and I can't wait to use it.

@@ReloadingWeatherby I've taken some nice mulies with mine. Also, failed to recover one last year. But I'm chalking that up to operator error. I now know why it was Daddy Weatherby's pick o' the litter.

Thank you!

Exactly

😂🤣😂🤣💯💥🔥

I have both. Rifle wise my 6.5 takes it all day. Cartridge wise my 257 is eh.

How often do you have to switch out barrels with the 257 STW? Every 200 rounds? haha. I'm just teasing. The 257 STW is true lightning.

@@ReloadingWeatherby hopefully not quite lol I am expecting it to be between 600 and 1000 rounds

You know Reload between you and me....many of these guys are all "steaming hot $#its". Dont you find this to be true? Always looking for faster,better,farther instead of getting their arses out on the range practicing with the Weatherbys they have NOW. Weatherby rifles have killed thousands of game snimals all over the globe with few if any mods. Ok....I'll give you glass bedding and free floating the barrel. I can tell you what Ive seen all these years at the range I go to is hunters not practicing hunting shots they might encounter in the field. Rarely do I see a guy shoulder his rifle stand with legs parted and fire 2 shots as if he were still hunting and an elk ir deer breaks cover to put it in 5th gear. Instead I see the whole line of shooters on their asses,never get off the seat and continue to pummel the target. Then when finished, they all get together to BS how accurate their rifles are,never taking them off the bags or cradle. Unreal.

@@rebelbaron7003 I agree with your comment about people becoming better shooters that’s something that everyone should strive to become. But if the general shooting public was not looking for bigger faster and more powerful then Weatherby would not have introduced cartridges like the 30-378, the 338-378 and 6.5-300 trying to keep up with and or ahead of the competition. As long as there is a cartridge and a rifle to shoot it people will always be trying to make it bigger faster and more powerful!

Yep!

I hope he does.... but I doubt it

@Jess Hadlock Unfortunately unless Nosler and other brands pick up some new heavy bullets I doubt it... but would be good to see :D

What bullet were you using?

@@ReloadingWeatherby 110 grain Nosler Accubond bullets at 3450 fps.

Ok.....and so???? Its accurate you say????? You should go work for CNN. How accurate? In a 3 shot group,what happened? Why even tell us this without facts? Dont blieve you .......sorry.

@@rebelbaron7003 You don't think the rifle and cartridge can do it?

@@rebelbaron7003 Who cares whether you believe it? I've been shooting long range for close to thirty years now in the coastal mountains of Oregon with rifles ranging from 6.5 Creedmoor to a .338-378 Weatherby magnum. The .257 is about as accurate as the bigger magnums in most weather. We shoot about moa on good days.

Good idea

Weatherby has updated the 7mm Weatherby to a 1:9 twist.... That's a start. I hope they don't do the RPM in 25, 27 and 7mm.... but they probably will. I would prefer they just update the barrel twist.

I’ve thought about re-barreling my 270 wby but I hardly ever use it, maybe one day I’ll get to take it elk hunting. I don’t use it for whitetail because it does too much meat damage.

@@tomlarue654 I dont know what bullets you use in your Weatherby but consider using the Nosler Partition bullets exclusively The .257 Weatherby is a screamer. A partition bullet will not mushroom nor break apart anywhere like other less well constructed bullets. Hence less meat destruction. It is well worth the extra cost

Do you really think the people at Weatherby haven't EXTENSIVELY tested different twist rates... They'll release a 1:8 and this guy will tell his grandkids he made it happen lol

Haha maybe

8 твист. Нужен

25-300 WBY would be very fast. The 6.5 WBY RPM is a smaller case than the 300 WBY.

Thanks for clarifying!

The highest b.c. bullet you can shoot with a 1in10 twist is the 115 gr Berger with a G1 b.c. of .483. Now that isn't a bad b.c. but it doesn't hold a match compared to 6.5mm, 7mm and 30 caliber.

@@ReloadingWeatherby Why don't you just get a barrel with 1:8" twist?

@@jimklemens5018 did you even watch the video?

@@musvijajuzagrilariocara8583 Yes, I did.

257 is so much fun

More recoil than a 6.5 Creedmoor. This is all hypothetical, most people wouldn't do target shooting with a 257 Weatherby because of how short the barrel life is.

@@ReloadingWeatherby I have a tendency to load hot. My 140gr ELDM is 2837 fps average and 130gr Gamechanger with a different powder and different magnum primer runs 3038 fps. 5 shot averages here. 147gr ELDM is 2780 fps. Out to 600yards hunting I use the 130 Gamechanger. Especially at close ranges. The 140gr ELDM gets the nod past 600 yards. Target shooting I use the 140gr ELDM. We shoot to 1000 yards regularly 1200 less and 1500 even less. I shoot 308 Winchester 175gr SMK targeting also. I use a Tikka superlite in .243 Winchester and 80gr ttsx @3400 fps and 100 grain Hornady at 2900 give or take for walk hunting because of its weight. In my area .243 is a very versatile little pill. With a good common cup and core 100 gr I've taken whitetail at 425 yards give or take. In heavy brush I like my .308 but have had no issues when I used the 243 and good 100 gr bullets and chose my shots wisely. Given everything has its limits and weather conditions are a big factor, beside terrain on longer shots for me. My buddy and I practice rain, wind or shine. I will not lie here. The little 6.5 creed has throughly impressed me. I have owned 17 Remington, 204, 22ppc, 22-250, 243, 25-06, 7mm-08, 7mm mag., 30-30, 35, 300 Savage, 308, 30-06, 300 Winchester magnum, (what my buddy shoots) and 300 ultra mag. The 6.5 creed does a lot with little to no recoil. It isn't a lightning bolt but it has highly impressed this old shooter-hunter.

I have a 30 inch barrel on my 257 Weatherby rifle.

That's going quick

The 257 case is a modified case I bought 6 months ago. It has say out on my loading bench for 6 months

@@ReloadingWeatherby The rifle I meant, I thought you only just posted the community post. 1:09

@@WayStedYou Oh I wiped it down with some gun oil and a cleaning patch. The cleaning patch left some stuff behind I guess.

I bet he was a great shot! Shot placement is King

@@ReloadingWeatherby Yeah. He hunts meat. So he has only two shots he will take. Both are under 200 yards. If it’s not the shot he wants he waits for the next one.

Yep

Must be pushing it real fast

@@ReloadingWeatherby 195 at 2952, max chamber, hydro form it. Gain 3 grains of water space. Then seat it long at 3.5”

Couldn't agree more! I'm currently using a 200 gr Accubond in my 300 WBY and a 130 gr Partition in my 270 Win

I bet

No it's not

In your opinion

@@ReloadingWeatherby Yes. In many many many opinions. Also in a practical comman sense opinions as well. Just another silly lets make pointless you tube video. I do like the 257 Weatherby. But its far from that title.

@@jamesmooney5348 Thanks for enlightening me

Nice

Barrels are like tires.... got to replace them sometime right?

@@ReloadingWeatherby yes and no. At that little rounds you will get through half of your barrel life just tuning the load. So if shooting 300-400 rounds in two days then changing your barrel that cost 300 and up plus the time it takes to do it and the tools if you got it. Tools alone are 140 plus. And if you don’t got it it’s to a gun smith you go and wait for them to do it and pay them 200 bucks to change the barrel. The other thing. Brass alone will Put you in the poor house 🏠 🤣 just my thoughts. Not saying there right lol

@@ReloadingWeatherby have you ever seen a 257 bee in a serious competition at 1000 yards? I think no....

@@Trautman80 And I don't ever expect the 257 Weatherby to become a mainstream target cartridge for many reasons

I'm very aware that almost no one uses a 257 Weatherby as a target cartridge. The video was just a fun hypothetical. However... at least one person has made a target 257 Weatherby rifle.

@@ReloadingWeatherby I knew you knew that. You are great smart dude. For the hunter using the right bullet and knows how to shoot long range, The 257 Weatherby could work. I've seen a video on KZfaq of a fast twist 243 take an elk at around a thousand yards if my memory serves me correctly. I've seen amazing things a 22 magnum rimfire can do with deer , pigs , sheep and goats. I would not recommend hunting anything other than varmints with a 22 magnum. 223 is my lowest limit on power to take game and only 150 yds and less .

I'm sure they do, I just prefer a hunting bullet.

Dude....dont....just dont do that. They dont expand, they dont hold together....just dont

The militaries of the world use fmj bullets. Hunters of big dangerous African and Asian game use " solids ". That makes them plenty lethal. When i was guarding USAF jet fighters and nuclear weapons I had an M16 rifle and 56x 5.56 rounds OR a S&W M15 38 Special revolver and 18 x 38 fmj rounds. Pathetic by todays standards. Penetration and target placement. I think we shot the revolvers one handed too.

I'm making that title a reality. kzfaq.infotuwysMhBSWM?si=IO3cSTPHtjbyUJhK My 1in10 twist 257 Weatherby shooting 135 gr Berger bullets at 3200 FPS sub MOA

uh.. okay

@@ReloadingWeatherby Long as we have the 300 magnums nothing else is needed.

@@adamshaw8214 Variety is the spice of life

@@ReloadingWeatherby until you realize you spent 30k on rifles scopes and ammo that you never use in a 6 month period. Then the spice of life starts to burn.

​@@adamshaw8214​ If you believe that any cartridge or calibre is bad, then you simply choose to be ignorant of the concept of trade offs, every tool has it's use and nothing is perfect. Just because 30 cal is versatile doesn't mean it replaces all other calibers.
