[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1069392, member: 54383"] I have and regularly hunt with both the 270 and 257 for exactly the yardage you say. Both are fantastic rounds. I have to say after getting several deer with both at around d the 500 yard mark I prefer the 257. Just a soft spot in me for that round and the spped is amazing. Now when moving to lead free like you are saying I think it would start to pull ahead a bit just for what you stated minimum expansion. The only thing you will want with a Weatherby is to watch your barrel length. A 24 inch 257 I don't feel would be any better than a 270 maybe even worse but when you get the extra length like a 26 inch it really shines. I've played a bit with lead free in mine and not really all that impressed,until iI tried the cutting edge lead free very impressive so far. Gonna try and do a side by side with the barnes this fall on some deer. You can't go wrong with either. [/QUOTE]
