About this bullet
.257 | 100gr | Peregrine Plainsmaster (VLR-4) is a bullet made by Peregrine. At 100 gr (6.5 g) and a diameter of 0.257'' (6.53 mm) it suits handloads where bullet weight and barrel length have to be matched carefully. Its G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.418 drives velocity retention and wind drift downrange — higher values mean a flatter trajectory at distance. A twist rate of 1:8.5 is recommended for stable flight; slower twists can under-stabilise this bullet. We currently list 142 load recipes across 12 calibers for this bullet.
