257 Weatherby Mag, Five Years Later 

Love the passion for the hunt and your love of the 257 Bee. I am having the same issue with my New Weatherby Mark V 6.5x300 KCR . It's a tack driver. Love it more than I can write here about it. ❤❤

A lot of people don't know this , but Roy didn't switch calibers while in Africa. His Rifle was always the 257 Roy. He killed everything from Elephants to Rhino's etc. For Marketing and photo shoots he always had a different gun . But his gun was the 257 Roy. It will kill anything that walks from Mexico to Alaska , and everything in between . I saved for 2 years , 2 long years to get my Mark 5 257 Roy . Ammo was $100 bucks a box. Kids will drain you , every time you think you're there , you're not !!!! Had to sell it for bills . I was sick for a long time. Still can't afford another one. But maybe one day . Never take life for granted . Peace.

Your video captures the essence of why I so want a Weatherby .257 Magnum. Thank you. I hope that you have many more great adventures and years of enjoyment.

My Remington CDL stainless fluted custom shop 257w is my favourite rifle... 257 Roy, the Rapier of rifles! God's Love, Mountain River Valleys!

Love my 257 as well! Really a caliber that punch’s over its weight class.

I like the fact that you can use all 257 WeatherBy bullets from 100 to 120 grain bullets even the round nose and they will hit in the same impact range all the way out to 300 yards.Meaning you could interchange all 257 weatherby out to 300 yards from 100 grn all the way to 120 without having to readjust the scope when sighted in for yourself.

Love my 257 MK5 RC... tack driving hammer 💥

I currently have the the vanguard 257 but would love to have the Mark 5. I also shoot handloads with the 120 bullet from Speer and I love it.

Awesome work with that 257 wby, that too is becoming my dream rifle. Glad to see you got a great deer in New Mexico, I got my first elk this year up in the NW of the state.

I shoot hand loads with the 115 grain Barnes tsx in my MK5. 5 shot group of .339” at 100 yards and .794” at 300 yards. Kills everything DRT!! Love it!

I have a Vanguard in .257 WBY and I love it. I have shot a 7mm WBY for 30 years and it has been great but ran across an unfired Vanguard NWTF gun for $350.00. So I snapped it up and put a great scope on it. It loves the factory 100 gr Barnes TTSX loads and shoots them into .5 inch three shot groups. I have only shot 1 buck with it but I can tell its going to be a stone cold killer.

Flattest shooting in its class.and the mark v is a hammer on big mule deer and elk

The 257 weatherby in vanguard or mark v are really popular in the western states and have been for years.

i am thinking of getting a 257,,,,i think this video cinched it,,,,,,them are some great bucks,,,,,i have taken a pretty good number of bull elk here in idaho with 25-06s , the 257 weatherby can only be better,,,,,,ammo looks hard to find,,,,,,but i will find it somehow,,,,,,,,

I killed a 132 point buck at zero yards with my truck when it ran across the street with my brights on and horn blaring. Not too too hard

I’m trying to decide between the 257 wby and a 6.5-284 norma. I have a 6.5 creedmoor and a 6.5 prc. I was about to buy the norma when I started looking at the 257. I don’t know much about it to be honest so I’ll ask you and other people posting here about it.

I’m beyond considering the MK 5 and nearing making a decision. I know you have taken quite a bit of game but how accurate is your Weatherby? Is it better than MOA? How much have you shot it other than hunting? Thanks. I appreciate your input as it will be a big decision for me. Thanks again

Nice animal's bro.!

My Dad shoots .257 Hot Tamale and 100gr TTSX. We all get it I think.

Great cartridge and nice mulies. Where is NM was your mule deer hunt?

My next gun will be another vanguard lazerguard I have a 300 weatherby in the lazerguard and love it

I want to get a 257 Weatherby but i need to know a little more. I know its intended for long range flat shooting needs and will dust deer at 300 an 400 yards which is definitely in my wheel house. But sometimes I shoot them as close as 30 and 50 yards. Will the 257 Weatherby have outstanding performance on a very close deer or does the speed actually hurt it in close situations? I generally shoot a 30-06 which takes care of business near and far. I'm just really interested in the 257...... Thanks!

That was awesome! Happy hunting everyone

Beautiful gun

I’m a 25/06 AI guy, I totally understand

What bullet/projectile do you use on the mule deer?

Im a weatherby fan too... my 257 wby also been taking game nicely and efficiently..... Still waiting on my Ruger no1 300 wby to claim one under its belt.lol.
