Roy Weatherby took the .257 Weatherby Magnum to Africa and took an African Cape buffalo with a single shot to prove to himself that it could be done.

The .257 Weatherby was one of Roy Weatherby’s earliest creations and quickly became his favorite. Introduced in 1948 the .257 is based on the .300 Holland and Holland case, shortened to 2.545" and necked down to .25 caliber. As far as Weatherby's philosophy of fast killing through high velocity went, the .257 achieved this goal in spades.

In an 8-pound rifle, the 257 Wby. Mag. should hit your shoulder with about 21.7 f-p force at 13.2 fps velocity, about like a 270 Winchester.

Jan 4, 2011 · The .257 Weatherby Magnum also delivers more than enough energy to cleanly take deer and other game of similar size as far away as any of us should attempt. Right or wrong, 1000 ft-lbs has long been considered the minimum level of energy for quick kills on deer-size game, and the .257 Weatherby Magnum does just that all the way out to 600 yards.

Jan 19, 2018 · Both are classics, and both are sound designs. However, the .257 Weatherby Magnum took things to an entirely different place. It will drive even the heaviest .25 caliber bullets—the 117- and 120-grain slugs—to a muzzle velocity of between 3,300 and 3,400 fps, depending on barrel length and manufacturer.
