[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 462693, member: 8"] G8rwhyt My comment was directed to the misinformation on long range hunting with a 257 caliber rifle that was posted by Big Jake Duke. You will be happy with your rifle and I do not have any problem with you building what you want. I shot a 25-06 in 1-10 twist for several years and it is really a great caliber but lacks good high BC bullets and long range ability. The Wildcat 130 gr and 142 gr VLDs solve the problem and barrels can be found in 1-8 twist so that long range is feasible with the 257 calibers. Once you go to slow powders and long barrels the 257 Wby, 257 STW begin to realize their potential. Kirby Allen builds a 257 AM on a RUM case which requires fast twist, slow powders and heavy for caliber high BC bullets. The world slowly changes and a person can continue to evolve or stay a dinosaur. [/QUOTE]
