[QUOTE="Cheyenne 1, post: 1052933, member: 9735"] I have a couple of these, one is a regular 257 STW and the other is a 257 STW ackley. I dont shoot them much anymore. I was into the fast 25's for a while. They can be finicky to load for, I had them stoked up to 3900 at one time. That was hard on the brass. Then I settled on around 3700 with a 110gr nosler. The furthest deer I shot was 598 with the Nosler accubond. If you are going to load them to 3400 with a 120 I would just get a 257 wby magnum. Way less powder and less finicky to load. My 257 WBY shoots a 117 hornady at 3450 fps. [/QUOTE]
