[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 236197, member: 313"] QUOTE: If you look closely...the .257 Wby is NOT that much faster, nor is it that far behind on its energy, than the 7mm Rem. Mag. I used to shoot a 7mm Rem Mag. for a LONG time...it's still one of my all-time favorite calibers! So, why not get better ballistics, with virtually the same energy? Because you are only comparing muzzle energy rather than impact energy over distance. Over the long haul the 7mm mag, of any flavor, will deliver more energy than the .257's. Game animals do not get killed at the muzzle. QUOTE: I was just saying that don't you think for 0-300 yard shots that a .257 Wby. with a 140gr. Barnes TSX would be one BADD mama-jama!!!! If you limit range to 300 yds I think the 257Wby would be a "BADD mama-jama" with any biggame bullet. Enjoy the new rifle. I also find the 257Wby to be a very interesting cartridge for soft skinned biggame animals. [/QUOTE]
