Hi guys.
I need to re barrel my 257 wby and was thinking of going with a fast twist and running the heavy and high bc Berger projectile. Anyone have any experience with this? Load data? Thoughts? Success?

I have a 25-06 AI 1:7 RPM.  Shoots them well at 3100 fps.

I don't know how anything can rival the 100gr TSX out of anything 25 cal
Retirement; The art of doing very little,very slowly

Expert; Someone who knows so much about so little

If you live in the swirl of the drain,inevitably you'll wind up in the cesspool.

Remember 10534

Sorry... Yesterday was the last and final day for any and all complaints whatsoever.

Wow 3100 is fast for a 2506!
That must be max load?
Have you shot an animal? How did it perform?
