I purchased this gun last year and only have about 2 boxes of ammunition through it so far. I want to reload for it because of the cost of ammunition but would like some suggestions on powders, primers, and what bullets i should load for mule deer. thanks

The Nosler ballistic tips have worked well for me. Great performance on deer / hog and accuracy to way way out there. I pulled the all the data straight from the Nosler book.
I'd like to find a supplier who carries new bulk brass for this round. If anyone knows where one can buy new bulk brass, please pass on the name of the supplier.

I like Hornady performance in my 250-3000. I have a 1-10 twist and get over 3000 FPS, very good accuracy, good game performance and they are reasonable in cost. SST's and Interbonds seem equally well suited for 25 caliber high speed performance.

I would start with the Norma powder also, I do not reload Weatherby's but I think that use Norma powder or at least one time they did.
