I fill 20 crop damage doe tags a year with a 257wby. Average shot is about 350yds longest was 635yds. I used100gr Barnes lrx the last 2 years. Before that it was 110gr nosler accubonds. Both worked great! I tried 117gr hornady sst on 2 deer when I first got the weatherby and even at 300yds they lacked penetration and would fragment violently. Made an absolute mess of things but the deer didn't go far if anywhere at all.
