.257 Weatherby Magnum is a laser with bullet weights that are more substantial, will pole axe elk and down with ease. Benefits from tighter twist if you can get it. For today, I would just do .25 Sherman Short Tactical in a short action.

[@brianperiso674]

Gentleman, I just want to convey what an absolute auditory pleasure listening about such iconic calibers in history. I have never owned a Weatherby rifle, or a rifle chambered in a Weatherby caliber. I will be turning 50 years old this July and appreciate the ideation of passing a rifle of significance down to my sons one day. I believe one will be cambered in a .280 Ackley improved and the other in a Weatherby caliber. The thought of this warms my heart. Boys, your conversations and knowledge warms my heart. I'm a Registered nurse of 27 years and after a long 12 hour shift look forward to a Podcast of yours to unwind.

[@VortexNation]

First off - thank you for everything you do and all of your work in the healthcare industry! Thank you for tuning into the podcast as well! Happy to hear that you enjoy it and keep us posted on what you go with! Thanks for being a part of Vortex Nation and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to give us a shout.

I want a episode about the 257 Weatherby Mag. I've wanted one for years but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Y'all guys are great, I love the 10 minute cartridge talks and the your full podcast episodes. Keep up the good work.

[@wesleyg848]

You should definitely pull the trigger on Roy's favorite cartridge.

[@toddboyer9691]

I still find it hard to believe Ryan was born in '88 with all the knowledge he has acquired... would love to see a talk from Ryan, Mark, and Jim discussing Monolithic vs. Bonded bullets and why Ryan prefers the Mono so much more. PS .35 Rem 10 Min Talk!

[@birddog3]

The guys that are all at the leading edge of machining, reloading, and rifle building are all stacked in the same age group. My boss is an old school reloader, is so shocked when me and another guy at work are loading with powder and bullets never heard of, and shooting farther than he's ever tried.

[@russellcrouchii6816]

Holy moly, a review that isn't trying to sell me something, provides data and real experiences. I'm listening.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Please do a 10 minute talk on the 257 Weatherby. I love my 257 and I'm getting insane performance from it.

[@bobby308b]

Ive had my .240 Wby MarkV paired with a Redfield Accutrac for over 30 years. The guys I hunt with call it the laser because of its flat trajectory and accuracy. I originally bought this gun for the reduced recoil due to some physical limitations. Absolutely love this gun.

[@thewesternmohawk4995]

There is a bit of a cult following here in western Canada. If you own one you tend to love it. Squeeze the trigger, watch the deer fall, feel the very mild recoil. I love my Weatherby rifles and cartridges!

[@jkass]

I have the 240 Weatherby Mag made out of an old WWII mauser. I love it. Extremely fast and very low recoil. It was my wife's elk rifle. It's taken down every elk shot with it. 30 06 case makes it easy to run in mauser action with new 240 barrel replacement.

[@rockylavigna5977]

First of all I am a total WBY guy however the podcast you conducted on the 3006 vs 308 was totally awesome and a learning experience for me, thanks. I like the big bores however last year I decided to add to my collection and purchased the 240 (absolutely no regrets). My reloads with 100 gr interlocks shot 1/2 Moa. This gun shoots lights out with no noticeable recoil. While I Hunt with 30 calibers I do not know if I am ready to hunt with a 6mm yet, however what an accurate pleasant gun to shoot, this was absolutely a great WBY experience. I will add this comment I always hear this is an obscure caliber with little or no public interest. I don't know how that is possible just surf around for this caliber the selection is almost unlimited in the MK5 or Vanguard offerings, I cannot believe WBY would make so many guns in this caliber if they did not sell. You like camo guns last I purchased the Multi Cam for under 500 bucks unbelievable price for a great shooting and great looking gun. I delighted I added this to my WBY collection, Regards

[@blakebell6720]

My requests have been answered thank you! And yes when you compare box ammo it doesn’t seem much faster then a 243 but when you reload you can get quite a bit more out of it you just can’t get a 243 to do. Even Barnes reloading book themselves have the 80 gr ttsx at 3700

[@stephencooper5040]

These ten minute talks always end up being longer than 10 minutes and I like that.

[@Growing-in-the-Word3]

Ryan will hopefully do a talk about the 260 Remington someday.

[@earlsmith1437]

A .260 Remington talk would be great.

Please 6.5/300!!

[@randallism101]

great discussion!!! would like too see one on the 257 and thoughts on performance with faster twist barrels and higher bc bullets. keep'em coming!!

[@benneuls4142]

Another cool and informative video. Thanks guys! Maybe going along with the Weatherby theme, maybe do a 460 weatherby mag talk? 🤔

[@VortexNation]

Excellent suggestion! We'll keep that one in mind for future talks!

[@RT-gv6us]

I have wanted an episode on the 240 from you guys. I have dreamed of owning a 240, but have held off due to the fact that a few years back I found a phenomenal deal on a brand new 257 Weatherby and I have not been able to justify buying the 240. Yes the 257 Roy has a little more recoil, but I can get 3500+ fps with a Barnes 100g TTSX. My 243 Win pushes a 90g Nosler AB at 3120 fps and those two guns work for me. HOWEVER, I still have not been able to completely shake the 240 bug. I am going to be calling wolves in Idaho this fall and a 240 Weatherby would be a wolf slayer. Someday I will probably get one.

[@blakebell6720]

I can vouch you a 240 will in fact hammer wolves, long range coyotes and whitetail in idaho with a very underwhelming amount of recoil. Also I just bought a vanguard accugaurd to save money still shoots right at a half minute with weatherby select box ammo

[@Titan-iw7xv]

Love my 257 weatherby. Haven’t found a single head of game that could shake it off yet!!

[@ls1mx557]

Definitely appreciate these caliber discussions

[@chancesoto5715]

I have a Mark V super ultra lightweight prototype in .240 wby. I live in California and this thing is perfect for the state. Wasn't my first choice in caliber, but I loved the gun and there was only one. The caliber has grown on me now, but it's very niche. I grew up using a 6mm Remington and a .257 Roberts. I have an affinity for smaller odd calibers. Its good if you like it.

[@clayhawman8855]

A great discussion. I have not owned Weatherby rifle but would love to try one in the .257 Wby Mag.

[@Weatherby406]

I’d get it in a backcountry TI 2.0 that weights 4.9 lbs. Perfect pronghorn gun.

[@Keeferd]

As a newbie being a gun enthusiast, this is fascinating describing how all the different ammo types work.

.257 Weatherby is my go to. It's got the touch of god and a point blank range of ~380 yards with 100 grainers. Just be prepared to spend 50 BMG prices for ammo. :/

@@Sceptis no kidding. We got my wife the 6.5rpm and she loves it. Even at $100+/- a box. Out of or 27years of marriage she applied and shot her first whitetail doe. Still leaning towards the .257 for myself.

244 H&H Magnum released in 1955 is the fastest factory loaded 6mm. H&H is the only company to ever chamber it and Norma provided the ammo. 244 H&H Magnum is a necked down 375 H&H Magnum.

I bought a 240 weatherby mark v deluxe a couple months ago, manufactured in 70s. Just got a leupold for it a few weeks ago. Haven't gotten it mounted yet, but super excited to shoot it. Had no reason to buy it other than "just because". Filled a void in the safe. I have the 300 roy and 7mm roy in mark v deluxe too. Also bought a 7mm roy and 270 roy in custom pre 64 70's. I just love those old cartridges and classic rifles with wood stocks. Ill let the rest of you fight over the creedmores with the synthetic stocks...

In the new 307 Weatherby rifle, they got the twist rate right for the 240.

[@funkla65]

Well, back before effective rangefinders were easily obtainable, we were too busy trying to cancel gravity to worry too much about wind drift. I didn't carry a Ranging 1000 to shoot out to 1000 yards; even partnered with a 220 Swift, its falloff in precision pretty much limited the package to about 500 yards.

[@lindajohnson1687]

[@EricChmelarsky]

I own a 240 weatherby. Vanguard model. Shoots amazingly well. I got lucky, picked a load from the nosler manual. 85 grain nosler partition. Sends them into .75 group at 100 yards. I bought a used Vanguard in 257 weatherby, and a new 240 weatherby at the same time. Both in Vanguard S2 models. I have replaced the 257 weatherby with a new model, still have the 240. Only game I've taken is a few groundhogs with the 85 partitions.

[@jonbaniak9097]

I’ve always thought about the 240 thinking what’s the use because of the 257 Weatherby, but then Weatherby came out with the smaller 6 lug MkV bolt. Couldn’t believe how much lighter it was. Then I wanted one!🤔

My dad grew up shooting a 240wb his dad had a 257wb and dad’s grandfather had a 300wb they bought all three at the same time in the early 70s They were great guns and truly a status symbol of those times But so many central and west Texas deer were taken with that 240wb that it’s hard to quantify but as I think yall were saying for that time before range finder’s velocity was king and they were lasers
