[QUOTE="436, post: 461419, member: 16609"] Nomosendero Me? I'm a big .257 Wby Mag fan... and I like the 100gr bullet for darn near everything. As for the Bob's comment; or if it can really do 3800 fps; the answer is yes. If you have a good barrel 26" plus, 28" works best’…, you can achieve that velocity in a .257 Wby Mag. If you look into the Barnes reloading manual number #3 page 176 you'll see a load for the .257 Wby using a 100gr XLC BT with RL25 powder at an advertised velocity of 3756 fps. In most of my .257 Wby’s it’s a was very consistent book load; in fact most of the 26" rifle will reach 3800 fps mark with just a little help, the 28" barrel rifles have no problem at all reaching it. {One quick note} In my .224 Wby Mag I use the Barnes 50gr VLC, vel's are out standing and accuracy is near match quality. I know the wildcat’s are fun... and there not much the .25-06 can’t do in the field’.., but’…, if I’m going to shoot a .25 cal rifle, It’s going to be a .257 Roberts Ackley Improved; that’s where PO made his bones in the .25’s or the .257 Wby Mag… Roy knew what he was doing. Good luck 436 [/QUOTE]
