[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 528218, member: 10178"] 26" number 5 contour 10" twist barrel is what I would choose for a walking gun. I would use a standard Weatherby chamber also and I would try the 110 Nosler Accubond and the 115 Nosler Partition H-1000 and IMR 7828 and Retumbo powders to see which did best. My hunting buddy, which never keeps any gun long, built a 257 Weatherby on an 700 Rem mag action that had a wore out rechambered from 7mm Rem mag to 7 STW barrel. He picked up a brand new never fired take off fluted SS Remington Sendero barrel that was in 10" twist 25-06. Some fellow bought a new Rem Sendero and pulled the barrel off to use to make a custom barreled rifle. He had the barrel rechambered to 257 Weatherby. It was back when you could get H-870 powder. It was a real shooter with 117 Sierra bullets. It was used as a bean field deer rifle in east NC. He used it a deer season and sold it off to finance his next fancy that struck him which was a #5 27 3/4" Shilen barrel 264 Win mag on a 700 Rem action that I now own. It is a shooter also.:D [/QUOTE]
