Teeing off on golfballs. Griffin hpbt @ 950. When 115 fpe 68 gn slug make contact we are talking ling distance driving. In the woods and no housing around. The m257 is a sweet compact cannon. Click or hold over. Your choice.
Benjamin Bulldod m257 @ 100 yds...

Thats one sweet shooting .257 Big Bore...That would of been my next rifle but Pennslyvania game laws only .177 and .22 cal pcp...Thus reason for fast twist .22 Condors shooting heavy .22 cal cast slugs...A .257 Bulldog would be easier

@shambozzie Interesting. That’s a big difference in holdover from 70 to 100 yards. According your table the bullet drop more than doubles within that 30 yard distance, even while traveling an estimated 874 fps. Thanks for sharing these details.

Have you tried the jackrabbit slug?

It's on my hit list.
257 Jack Rabbit 3 Cavity Brass Cramer HP, GC or PB Mold
Best moulds for casting lead bullets. Hollow point, hollow base or solid bullets. Molds are Brass or aluminum.

Yeah that’s crazy lol. Especially for a conical. Seems like something you’d see with a pellet more. Personally I just shoot and go lol. I’m not a numbers guy when it comes to shooting like shambozzie but it’s interesting none the less.
While everyone is about speed and barrels and blah blah blah, my type of fun is shooting a .177 140yds 600fps hitting a steel pail. Anyone who visits needs to hit the pail with something off the wall before they leave. Off the wall meaning a gun not ordinarily shot at 140. Even Rick Rehm had to hit it with a Girandoni.
