[QUOTE="Wyofax, post: 1068900, member: 65924"] I have hunted for years with a 257 here in Wyoming and absolutely love that caliber. Hunting beside me for all those years is my dad with his trusty 270. Both work for all we put them through. Two years ago I switched to a 264 win mag. So my opinion is any of the three will succeed out to the 5-600 yard range and it comes to personal preference. I have no experience with the lead free issues so the choice might be more importantly focused on which caliber has the best bullet options for what you have available. That is the primary reason I went with the 264 over the 257, as the 257 does not excel with high BC options. The 270 is getting better but it didn't have very many high BC options either. So as great as the 270 and 257 are, I would probably look to the 6.5 just because of better bullet choices. [/QUOTE]
