[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 214930, member: 9705"] [b]Questionable advantage over 7mmSTW[/b] Since you ask for opinions here's mine. I don't see the advantage of the 257 over the standard 7mmSTW with either light or heavy bullets. One reason is with light bullets in both the 7mm bullets generally have a higher BC at equal SD. For instance the 120 7mm generally have higher BC than the 100 257. And they can be driven to nearly the same velocity. Same thing with heavier bullets. The 7mm hits harder and is just as flat shooting. Plus the 7mm will have longer barrel life. Clear choice to me. [/QUOTE]
