[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3084808, member: 109862"] 257 Weatherby ALL DAY!!!! I love mine. It kicks less than my .270 too. The monster 6.5s and 7s MIGHT be flatter, certainly do buck the wind better at true long range, but for a 400 yard point and shoot rifle you will not beat the .257 wby. Took my whitetail last season with a 75 grain hammer hunter chronographed at 4150 feet per second out of my 24 inch vanguard stainless. Don't know what the ballistic charts say it should do, what it actually does is honest to goodness hold on hair trajectory to 500 yards verified on steel targets at the range. Dead on at 400, between 3-5 inches high at both 200 and 300, about a foot of drop at 500…hold on the back you're still dropping it into the heart region no problem. My deer was about 300 yards…drunken staggered about 10 yards and collapsed, and that hit a bit further back than I meant to. Rear lungs but double lungs and the performance was just awesome. That little bullet also exited the full bodied Saskatchewan whitetail, broke two ribs on entry and one on exit. [/QUOTE]
