The 257 Weatherby Magnum (257 WBY) delivers blistering velocity and a laser-flat trajectory. Often considered Roy Weatherby’s personal favorite, it has long been a trusted choice for hunters targeting medium-sized game in wide-open country. There may be no better cartridge in the world for pronghorn. When paired with the 101-grain Barnes LRX, the 257 WBY offers a powerful combination of speed, accuracy, and terminal performance. The Barnes Reserve 101gr LRX load provides 257 WBY shooters with a premium option—pairing a high-performance bullet with a truly high-performance cartridge.
