[QUOTE="shorty, post: 236595, member: 7260"] I've got a Sendero in 25-06 with a Krieger barrel, spec'ed it with a 1 in 9 twist, rather than the factory 1 in 10. I did that so I could shoot heavier bullets and so far am very happy with it. I haven't had the chance to do all the load development I wanted but will do so over the winter. Anyway this gun prefers bullets of 120 grains and above, is what I used on Antelope in Wyoming three weeks ago. I took a buck at relatively short range (175 yds) hit him behind the shoulder about 6 inches (one of us moved). Lope had an exit hole about baseball size with nearly all of the stuffin' ahead of the diaphragm already removed. More than enough "pop" in my humble opinion. Load was developed for my old barrel but worked in a pinch for this hunt: 120gr SGK, 51grs H414, Remington case, Federal LR primer. My .00002 cents, Buy the 257, you won't be sorry. [/QUOTE]
