Product Details

I am tougher than an elephant’s hide and as dependable as the sunrise. From recoil pad to muzzle, every part of me is designed to persevere. Let’s start with that recoil pad: It’s a Pachmayr Decelerator, mounted to an indestructible Gryptonite® stock with inserts at the forend and pistol grip. Bedded in the stock is my famous Vanguard action and a cold hammer forged barrel crafted from 410 Series stainless steel. It’s even bead blasted to keep me looking pretty. Choose me and I promise: You’ll own me forever.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 257 Weatherby Magnum was designed by Roy Weatherby in 1944, so is one of the original Weathery Magnum cartridges. It is based on the belted 300 H&H case shortened, blown out, and necked down. It is by some margin the fastest commercial 25-caliber cartridge, and Roy Weatherby often commented that it was his personal favorite. With an 87-grain bullet at 3825 feet per second, a 100-grain bullet at 3602, and a 120-grain bullet at 3305 it is one of the flattest-shooting of all commercial cartridges. With heavier bullets of tough construction it can be effectively used on elk-sized game, and it is an excellent choice for longer shots on deer, antelope, and mountain game. Despite its attributes it has never become extremely popular, with Weatherby remaining the primary source for both rifles and ammunition. Federal has also offered a 257 Weatherby Magnum load, and a few other rifles have been chambered to it. — Craig Boddington
