.257 whetherby vs .257 savage rifle

[RifleBowPistol]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there is the 250 savage, 257 Robert's and the 257 weatherby mag.
257 Weatherby Mag 3400fps
257 Robert's 2900fps
250 savage 2700fps
That's loaded with 100gr bullets across the table. The weatherby mag will out run either of them other 2 all day. Not sure if that's what your asking or not.

The 250 Savage is also known as the 250-3000, because it would push a bullet out the barrel at 3000 fps. I was not sure of what weight bullet that was used to achieve the 3000 fps. Savage picked a 87 gr. bullet to achieve the 3000 fps, because they wanted to be the first with a factory 3000 fps velocity round.

My friend is shooting a 250 Improved using 110 gr nosler and RL26 powder. Velocity is 3118 FPS and accuracy is amazing.

My 115 grain handloads from my 257 Wby are clocking 3600fps+.

I’ve run some over 3650 during load development but I backed them down a bit.

This is a 3/8” AR500 steel plate at 200 yards with 115 grain Bergers at 3600fps MV.
