firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Gladly. The 110 accubond gets you to 600 with no issues. The 257 caliber doesn't have the bullet selection that the .007" larger 264 caliber has, but there are wonderful hunting options. TTSX, accubond, scirocco II, Berger, Partition, Aframe, ballistic tip, etc. None of them have crazy high BC's, but they will get you there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted July 28, 2015 I shoot a .25-06 Ackley Imp. w. a 28" barrel, and it is really close to a Weatherby in velocity. My go to load is a 115 Berger HVLD @ 3370fps. I pushed them to 3500+, but the accuracy was not quite as good. I take shots on steel to 1371 with ease. 1K is very doable, and 800 is a no brainer with the right conditions. I would not hesitate to take an 800 yard shot with this combo on deer size game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roninflag Report post Posted July 28, 2015 install a leup 6.5-20 with a kenton knobb. the heavier bullets will give you less drop and wind drift after 600 yards. the lighter ones like the 87 is faster and flatter to 600 yards. ienjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
