[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1145548, member: 88320"] I you compare same velocities with a 115 gr .257 and same velocity with 140 6.5 it. The 6.5 will have more energy. 140 gr will buck the wind better and will be more consistently accurate. At the same time there isn't a huge difference, I personally think the .257 max killing/hunting range is about 600 yards, light bullet with .450ish BC's looses energy fast after 5-600. I've read where others pushed the limits further. Hmmm maybe you should be the make a 6.5 weatherby [/QUOTE]
