Now all you need is a ..240Roy, 257Roy, .270Roy, .30-378Roy, etc etc etc. I wouldn't worry about a muzzle brake unless you're gonna be running 100's of rounds downrange.


I've owned a few Roy's; a 257, a 340, and a couple of 7mms. Wanted a 270 for years but just never bought one. Oh, and if you're gonna shoot a Roy, then you really should reload just to keep it somewhat affordable.

Yes, brass for all of the Weatherby cartridges is expensive and can be hard to find. Try to find some 257 Weatherby brass right now online and you'll understand. 😀 Even if you don't reload, save your brass and find someone who can. 30-378 ammo starts at around $4.00 each for the cheap stuff and can cost twice that much.
