[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 977473, member: 12995"] I don't shoot 100 grain bullets, so I have no idea. Why are you being combative about this? It's just a **** caliber...You don't have to defend it tooth and nail to the bitter end... I like the .257 Wby, but this is the same arguement that I get with people who say the 7RUM is SO MUCH faster than the 7mm STW is....And the fact is, it's not that much faster, and if it is, it took 10-15 more grains of powder to do so. Face facts, some designs are more efficient than others. How else can a 7mm RemMag hang in there with a 7mm STW? Or better yet, how can a 7 WSM hang in there with a 7mm STW in velocty with the same bullets? Or a .30-06 AI almost catch a .300 WM... Some case designs are more efficient than others. Roy Weatherby was a genious for his time.....But so was Parker Otto Ackley. I know my 115 Berger loads are showing about equal pressure signs on my primers, with both calibers, and the .257 Wby is at 3,300 and the .25-06 AI might be 20 fps behind it....Maybe. 20 fps is zip to argue over. There's been a few guys on here that have had .25-06 AI's pushing 115's around 3,400+ (read back in some old threads)....But I haven't tried to push my rifle that fast. I want my barrel to last.
