Go under the “OTHER GUNS” section and look up all the info on the 257 cal reference guide. The molds are listed

Doug said it best.

If you use a 1-14 twist barrel then the NOE 80 grs and the Lyman 257420 bullets work well all the way out to 500 yards

While they seem to work from 800 fps on up, I actually recogmend 1000+ fps for maximum effect of the round. And i’m NOT just talking KILLING EFFECT. Im talking KILLING, ACCURACY and the ability to reach WAAAAAAY OUT THERE.

If someone wanst to only push them about 800-875 fps, i’d recommend sticking with JSB pellets

The Lyman 257420 is in my option the best bullet there is. There are a few Lyman molds and a 85 gr noe mold that work good.

I just shot a prairie dog at 292 yds with a hollow pointed 257420 bullet on Sunday
