218buck Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Does anyone know if there's any one in town that will take you gun and figure out a load for it . I have a 257 weatherby I would like to set up for hunting with a range of about 800 yards thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted July 27, 2015 I don't know any place to load custom loads but if you want some load data I can give you some places to start. I have been working up my loads for a couple years now. I have a couple that shoot really well in my 257 Weatherby Vanguard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted July 28, 2015 One of my favorite things to do is tinker with loads for a rifle. Do you not reload at all? Do you know any friends who reload and would be willing to help you get started? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know any friends who reload and would be willing to help you get started? A good friend of mine does but he is a guide and will not be available until after his strip hunt . I would like to have this gun set up before then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Do you reload yourself at all? If so grab a pound of powder and some Berger VLDs and start working. I bet you find a good load pretty quick. 3.22 oal to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khmer6 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Man you are some lucky guy. How many tickets did you buy for that beautiful rifle. I don't know of anyone locally but in other parts of the country custom builders will work up loads for the specific rifle and even give you all the drops and ballistics chart. There's gotta be someone out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
