[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 528179, member: 30902"] I know. I'm torturing myself over a couple of projects of my own right now. I'm settle on calibers for both but the rest of the details get maddenting. My dad once mad a "trip of a lifetime" to Colorado for a Mule Deer hunt. Someone grabbed his gear bag out of the back of the truck when he'd stopped to eat at a truck stop along the way. He was shooting a SAKO Deluxe in 257WBY (custom job he'd gotten from a friend who had an outdoor sports show) and of course there was no ammo to be had. Fortunately he had as a backup his old Rem 30-06 pump and using some cheap Remington factory loads he grabbed at the local hardware store in CO he managed to pull off his "hunt of a lifetime" with a 200 plus B&C buck that weighed nearly 300lbs. He never let me forget that lesson when it came to considering a new caliber. The .257 Weatherby though is one of Chuck Hawk's favorites so you might enjoy reading his comparison between it and the other 25's.
