[QUOTE="115vld, post: 303575, member: 11228"] I have one of each...the 257 is shooting 115 bergers at 3455 and is stupid flat. Even with just a 523 BC it still beets the 7 in drift because the time of flight is so quick. For what you are doing the 257 is more than fine. Unless you are shooting past 600 yards consistently I would stick with what you are used to. My 7 shoots 168 bergers at 3125 and is my prefered go to caliber on any shot on game at long range. Lets face it, the energy of the 7 is just hands down better. Also there is no such thing as over kill. A dead coyote is a dead coyote is a dead coyote(yes 3 times). Also, think of some of the damage that the big Allen mags are doing to game. I will easily take a one shot drop on game and damage the shoulders rather than wound an animal with a lesser caliber due to lack of energy. [/QUOTE]
