257 Buck

Post by RLKondo »

Thanks fellas for all the good information on the 257 Weatherby! I started with the 120 gr Partitions, but as I looked closer at the Ballistics, as you suggested, I liked the Barnes Triple Shock 100 gr. and they shot well in my gun.

I took advantage of a late buck tag in WA. We had not seen many bucks the first week, so started watching the does. Finally towards the end found this 4 point hanging with some does. 150 yards and I was happy!


Thanks for all your suggestions, it was a great day with my father and a good end to the season!

Sorry, I thought I knew how to post an image, but no luck.

RL: Congrats on a very nice muley buck! Looks like you got to warm up that 257 Whby just like you wanted. That's a good buck in anyone's book! Those Barnes TSX's do the job every time. :D
