[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1085011, member: 12995"] Nothing to be sorry about Fred...It's not like you built my crappy overpriced rifle (former rifle now...). Best thing I ever did with that gun was trade it off. That was a Weatherby issue, but their pride stood in the way of gaining them a repeat customer. Especially since I did absolutely nothing wrong, and the gun came to me, brand new, with a defect. Nothing at all wrong with the .257 Wby caliber, although I still maintain that case capacity is a bit overzealous for the bullet diameter and currently available weights... But that is neither here, nor there, when it comes to accuracy. I would like to have another .257 Wby someday, just to re-utilize all the ladder testing loads, factory ammo, brass, and reloading equipment I still have sitting around... But it's just almost impossible to beat the smoothness and light recoil of the .25-06 AI. Not to mention the speeds that are within 100 fps of the .257 Wby with a lot less powder. [/QUOTE]
