What grain?

Rapid expansion / rapid fragmentation is king. Pass through is not necessary. BERGER, ELDM for me. NOTHING compares to rapid expansion/fragmenting bullets.

what people dont understand is, is the energy that 100 grain bullet is carrying makes up for its smaller size, sure bigger grains hit hard but bigger doesnt carry the energy of the smaller 100g does

Out of curiosity l. It pass clean through? Or did the bullet stop in the buck? (Thinking about THIS bullet in my sons 6mm).

The bullet, do a clean passthrough?

What bullet?

Do you know if the manufacturer has fixed this problem yet?

Just for interest sake. How far did he manage to run from the site it was shot at?

Thanks for posting. Five years, nice long term review! I live in VT, plan to do some pursuit hunts next fall. This model may be my shell. Seems it has a bit more abrasion resistance than Chugach, while a half pound lighter than Yukon. Have you needed to re-apply DWR? Again, review much appreciated. Oh, you got this several years ago, do you know if they were using the general "Entrant membrane" from Toray then, or was it Dermizax? Seems now Chugach uses Dermizax (along with Yukon) but not Kutana. Maybe no big diff... Good luck this season!

Are these a step up to the redington field kits at $389. Worth the extra $ . Guess that price is for the combo

Excellent real world experience, the best kind of video, thanks for doing this video, I use Barnes in all my rifles, no wounded animals.

I have both. I feel the corrugate guide pants are stretchier and hug your hips and feel nicer, the attack pants fit similar to a pair of tough kakis and feel like they are definitely more durable. Both are great pants. Corrugate prob be better for just sitting in stand or saddle and attack would be better for climbing mountains

What LURE YOU USING????? That is my family’s boat house and I literally have spent hundreds of hours trying to catch this exact pike

@NCMirage257 did the wet pockets on the Kutana allowing water into the inside of the jacket ever get resolved? I'm going to get the Kutana either way. You are right it is the right one for my needs. 👍

@ncmirage257 Great review of both thank you! And wow I would of never guessed the Yukon rubber cuff created that rollback issue. I guess I will not be buying it afterall. I planned on it being a no joke "rain jacket" for when I have to be in a downpour.

Where did you hit, high shoulder or spine? Couldn’t really see in the video?

I have both. Its not about "better". Its more like different. They both cast wonderfully. They both do the same job fine. I LOVE them BOTH. The Echo is now $200 VS $225. Both are great values. You can't go wrong with either one. I lean towards the Orvis. Both rate similarly in other reviews, especially Yellowstone Anglers.

Good stuff!

I can't afford to by ammo for my 257 weatherby mag now since I've been retired. I bought 5 boxes when I bought the rifle before I retired now on a low fixed income that they cut by one third 2 months ago I can't afford to even zero it.

how hard is it to ski from windy gap to paradise bowel? I felt not confident to slide silver queen road since it is narrow.

What more power do you need ?? No recoil and DEADLY ACCURATE!!

Would of been nice to see the entrance and exit wounds

257 Weatherby is one he'll of a good cartridge, But have you seen the price of a box of Weatherby ammo?

Does anyone have experience with the Weatherby select plus, with the 110gr Hornady ELDX projectile? My rifle shoots them extremely well but the last two whitetails killed with them have not had an exit wound. Both deer only made it 15-20yds after the shot. But we have some very thick, overgrown cutdowns. In the event that the animal made it into the cutdown, it would be extremely difficult to track.

I've never had factory ammo pollute the barrel of my 257. But, I've loaded and shot all the 25 cal weights available. I highly recommend a good lead core, and at the 117/120 gr weight, for game loads. I don't recommend partitions, especially with lighter bullets,,,, I've seen the "devastation" they create if your shot is not spot on.

Hi. Have you any plans to try the 80 grain TTSX? The velocity from the Weatherby would be scorching. I have picked up a box to try in my 25-06.

I’m going to CB this feb and while I’m not skilled enough to hit black runs, I think this route might be the perfect way to at least hit the highest lift

That’s awesome! My oldest boy’s 12 and coming on his first mule deer hunt this year. It’s proud moment. I didn’t grow up hunting, but it always seemed like a great tradition to pass on.

Nice i just got some of them ttsx bullets for my 243 for deer hunting going sight it in tomorrow

Thanks for the videos. Was looking at getting this jacket and unless kuiu fixed it there’s no way I will now. A $300 jacket should not have to be taped up.

Perfect shot. No meat lost.👍

Love your kuiu attack color, what color is it the one on the video? Thanks

I have been shooting the 100 grs ttsx and tsx bullet out of my 257 weatherby magnum. I had never lost a deer or an elk using these to bullets. I have never had any doubt on the 100grs or have any reason to go to a heavier bullet. However I have used 115 grs and 120 grs out of my 25-06 Not because they were good because my 25-06 shoots extremely good using a heavier bullets I had the 25-06 before the 257 weatherby magnum. Which one I like better I don't know. I did loose my 25-06 to my brother Stupid of me to let him borrow it, He think when he borrowed something from you. He thinks you actually gave to him. He actually traded my rifle for two pistol. That was my mistake and how I lost my 25-06

Never use boat tailed bullets for hunting. I use the Sierra 117 grain Pro Hunter bullets with complete pass through performance everytime, and hits the ground like a ton of brick.

Wow

That would be awesome rug.

Par for the course, the 257 Wby is a killer round, I would expect nothing less, even on a shot that far. Great little video, good shooting.

So do you think the echo Carbon xl would be ok for brook trout or too heavy. 6” to 12”

I have a 5wt 9ft and 6wt 9ft Clearwater rods and they are both great rods. I live in Wyoming so on those windy days the 6wt really helps.

I prefer a good (perfect) lung shot because it bleeds the deer out a significant amount, giving better meat I believe. That was an excellent shot

I want to get a 257 Weatherby but i need to know a little more. I know its intended for long range flat shooting needs and will dust deer at 300 an 400 yards which is definitely in my wheel house. But sometimes I shoot them as close as 30 and 50 yards. Will the 257 Weatherby have outstanding performance on a very close deer or does the speed actually hurt it in close situations? I generally shoot a 30-06 which takes care of business near and far. I'm just really interested in the 257...... Thanks!

I got the Clearwater 5wt. I didn’t find it stiff at all

I have been a professional hunting guide since 1976 with this is my only income. I have found the exact same results with the Nosler Ballistic tips and Accubonds blowing up and very little penetration the bullets have on deer and larger game. Many of the game shot by my clients using the ballistic tips & accubonds end up a massive pain looking for the animals after shot and they run off then die. I had a client shoot a black tail buck using a 338 win mag shooting 200 grain Accubond bullet that the bullet blew up then we found fragments of lead and copper and the bullets base in the deer. My experience on the Nosler Accubond it is a gimmick by Nosler to charge more money for the same type of bullets as the Ballistic tips. When I am guiding in Alaska the clients are required to bring not less than a 338 win mag and to bring ammunition loaded with Barns TSX bullets or other brands of copper expanding bullets and absolutely NO bullets with lead cores are allowed in my hunting camps.

Just buy a tube of Seam Seal and coat the leaking seam. Problem Solved.

I got a orvis clearwater and the drag know doesn't have the holes in them. I also have white backing instead of red. I got the 4wt 8,6 form their site

Im heading to Nebraska on Tuesday with my 257 Weatherby...im gonna use the Barnes 100 TTSX....wish me luck!

it seems like an easy fix in construction would be to just make sure the zipper stitching did not go into the pocket. wonder if kuiu has done this on newer iterations or not... hmm

I use the 80 gr TTSX in my 250 Savage. Works perfect. I'd like to see someone use it in the 257 Wby Mag.

Great work young man
