That's honestly not that bad for a bullet doing the damage you explain. These .257 weatherbys are a serious force to reckon with!! I tried the 110 grain nosler accubonds and they didn't hold up that well IMO and I am a HUGE fan of those bullets! I really don't like the barnes x bullets for fear that they won't do enough damage, they need hyper velocity to reliably expand, if there's anything in my arsenal that's hyper and lots of it, its my .257 ROY! I could push the envelope a little farther I'm sure with the 80 grain bullets but I don't see any need to? Barrel life will deminish that much faster. At 3700 fps that's varmint gun velocity with a deer hunting bullet! Impressive IMO!
