[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 660674, member: 505"] Magpro is the best powder I have found for this one. The lack of high bc bullets make the 25's not as good a long range choice as the 6.5. But if you want a 600 yard lazer they are fun to shoot. Recoil is light but we have a brake on the one we shoot the most to observe hits through the scope. Like shooting a 22 with the brake. The high velocity hits are pretty spectacular. Most times the animal hits the ground faster than the eye can follow. Several companies now make brass so it is same cost as other brass. You can use either 270 wby or 7mm wby brass so whichever you find the cheapest. New brass prep always requires running it through the sizer so no matter which one you use. With one pull the sizing die makes it all 257 wby with no difference anwway. If you want a 25 it is a good one. I have two 257 STW's and the wby mk 5 257 wby shoots basically the same velocity with less powder. The STW is just to much overbore. The 264 STW though is one of the best and an incredible long range performer shooting high BC 129/130 grain bullets over 3700 fps with Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
