First hunting rifle/bolt action I purchased was a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 257 Weatherby. Been using it for the past decade and it'll hammer a whitetail.

...and it just dropped... right on!

I'm a huge clone nerd. I love the idea of being able to listen to this rather than read the forums

Exceptional! Exciting!

Thank you for this video from a left-eyed shooter. Both of my kids are also left eyed and right handed (so I have inheritors that appreciate long arms for southpaws).

🤯 Your Marketing Team Has a Rare "Opportunity" - With The Horneday 7mm prc "Powder Scandal" - to Revive The 7mm WBY Magnum Sales! Don't Get Caught Sleeping!!! 😴

🤠 The 300 WBY is Your Flagship Cartridge! But, You Need to Promote Your 7mm WBY and 270 WBY More, Now That the 7mm prc is "Flopping"! 🤷‍♂️

Time to put faster twist rifling in your barrels ! Like 1 in 8 for .257wby , same in the 300s . The person who talked about necking down the. 300wby to .257 , have you heard of the 257stw ?? Call Layne Simpson & consult with him . Hope you relative newbies have heard of him . I have loaded for 250savage , 257 Robert's, 25-06 & 257wby over the years . A fast twist 257wby & a 125gr mono metal bullet would provide better performance for elk & even moose ! In the meantime I'll continue loading my 257wby with 120 gr Speer or partition & full case of Retumbo . Cheers & good hunting !

I load a 115 Ballastic Tip and 115 Nosler Partition at 3,475 with the new powders.

Adam’s nepotism is showing…. Lol not everyone can have a company handed to them

Speed - math equations youngsters - distance in feet divided by time of flight = FPS

74 grains of H1000, 92 grain HH’s, 400 yard zero. Taken all my three of my elk at 400 yards on, and all my antelope out to 600 yards.

my uncle sold me his 1962 257 45 years ago , for many years it was my go to . 25 years a go had weaterby rebarrel it now its my sons 3 gens and still going strong . ol roy got it rite . went with the 7stw for years now the 30-378 is the go to.

Still waiting on that .257 rpm hope it happens someday

I love both of mine.

Please do the 338-378 next.

The 257 Wby Mag aka the Death ☠️ Ray has had my interest for a long time. I wouldn’t mind having one rifle in calibers sizes from 22 all the way up to maybe 🤔 a 375 H&H to compliment my 270 Win and 300 WSM. The 257 Wby Mag is my top choice for 25 cal and my favorite Weatherby cartridge. I would have to settle on a right hand rifle in 257 Wby since the least expensive one is an Accumark at $2000. Sadly the Hunter model doesn’t have any lefties. So Vanguard Talon is most likely the winner for a 257 Wby for me at around $1000.

Please talk about the 7mm Weatherby magnum! I am interested in this one and would love to hear more on it first.

Let me start by saying I’m a Weatherby fan. I’ve owned several of your rifles and currently have 3 in my inventory. I also have a soft spot for my 257 and agree with most of what was said on your podcast. I don’t know that you can pick a cartridge that’s more perfect for open country deer and antelope. Having said that, there’s about a minute of conversation starting at 15:35 that I absolutely do not agree with, specifically around recoil. I have noticed that all of my Weatherby rifles seem to be softer shooting than your competitors offerings in the same chambering, probably because of the stock design and a good recoil pad. The extra weight in the Vanguard also helps tame recoil down quite a bit. My 257 heavier than a lot of rifles out there at near 9 pounds ready to hunt and it is certainly not “super low recoil” or “like a 6.5 Creedmoor… maybe less than”. That’s just silly. In fact, I’d say that 6.5 Creedmoor and other similar rounds are probably 60% of the recoil of the 257 Weatherby. I’m not saying it’s a hard kicker and certainly nothing like 300 Win Mag, etc., but the context of your conversation started with shooters who are smaller and many times more sensitive to recoil than a larger framed and perhaps more experienced shooter (talking about the guy’s wife). I would absolutely not put someone like that behind my 257 or any other rifle of similar recoil (think 270 Win) unless they had been shooting for a while. I do appreciate the comment added by the gentleman in blue about muzzle devices and suppressors as that would tame the rifle down some, but let’s be a little more fair about recoil so someone who doesn’t know any better doesn’t go out and and buy one of these and stick their wife or kid behind it because it’s super low recoil and softer than a 6.5. There’s no free lunch… to get the speed, there’s going to be recoil. I’ll buy comfortable to shoot or moderate recoil, but super low or soft… nope.

Excited to be a new Weatherby owner and there was No debate...it Had to be the .257

Been shooting 257 for years awesome deer 🦌 cartridge. I am running 110 accubond at 3600 fps

I do love my 30-378 weatherby the most

Perfect timing. I JUST bought a 257 WBY yesterday!

Also what’s the real same barrel length between 257 and 25-06 what the actual velocity difference is

I love my 257 Weatherby! I have two loadings for it. A 92 gr Hammer Hunter with RL-22 at 3888 FPS and the 110 gr Accubond at 3500 FPS. Both loadings are sub Half MOA.

Out of all my Weatherby rifles my .257 is my favorite

I have had a few vanguards. Love them. Best bang for your buck around. I picked up a used mark 5 rifle and man… it’s hard to use any other bolt anymore. That 257 mark 5 is just something out of a dream. Weatherby till I die

Is the barrel free floated? I handled one in the store and it the barrel looked very tight to the stock.

The straight comb design is stupid. Nobody asked for that.

Roy was a genius when he designed the mark5 for me anyway. I used mostly Winchester model 70s when I was making good money, till I broke my neck on the way to work at 21, and I'm now a C6 quad. Obviously, I wanted to start hunting as soon as possible, and I soon realized the mark 5 action was by far my best option for 2 reasons. The short bolt throw and the trigger more forward in the trigger guard because I have to pull the trigger with my thumb. At that point I had no money for a mark5 and traded a pretty fancy Winchester for a brand new 257wby ultralight. I reloaded almost exclusively and used a nosler 110 accubond. That gun has killed a ton of stuff. I can think of at least 2 bears and 3 elk along with countless deer and antelope. But what's the fun of one? A nephew is still putting down the critters with it, and I've mostly been using my Sheridan made 6.5x300, and it's absolutely deadly, and between me killing about 7 animals a year and friends shooting more it's already been used a lot in the last 3 years. Dou to penny and diming i now own a jap made 300 deluxe, a 378 deluxe i bought brand new, and a 6.5rpm hunter. I love the 6 lug action, and it shoots lights out, but the stock does not work in my gunrest. I absolutely love the rpm case design, and I hope to see more chamberings with it. Anyway, Roy accidentally made the perfect rifle for people like me.

Please do an Apex in 30-06!! That is my only gripe.

Whoever’s idea it was to discontinue these rifles in favor of the cheaper Hunter series is a fucking idiot.

Looking for it now in a 6.5prc, any suggestions accepted

Good show , got a Element 20 and want the Orion 20 SXS

J.D. is great to deal with. I love my Peak 44.

I loaded up 50 150 GR SST 's for my 300 for deer season the other day.

It's a 500 A square, but great podcast.

I would love to see photos posted on the custom rifle you built for the RMEF this year you know the one with the signature's

Absolutely love this action

“You don’t need to hit the vitals. Anywhere in the body will kill with instant painless death” lol What a salesman! lol

Can you do a talk on the 338-378 weatherby please

Okuma machines! I can operate those. Hiring any Machinists?

Are you able to remove the hinged floor plate and install a detachable mag if wanted to do so, in say 6.5 Creedmoor

I knew I made a good choose when I got mine but dang this just reinforces it. The custom rifle feel for that price is the best deal no questions asked.

Yes, in the Weatherby book it says it was named Mark V because it was the fifth variation of the design.

So when are we getting 375 RPM and 375 Wby back now that light copper bullets are good. Speed kills but so does diameter.

Love my Vanguard Sporter Deluxe 270Win . . .

Some rifle designs are made for manufacturing, my Weatherby Mark V Deluxe was made for me.

550 Magnum is a straight walled 460 WBY. 700 grain projo at 2400 fps. Fits perfect in the Mark V action.

How is this action stronger than the Ruger M-77 / any Mauser / type of action?
