[QUOTE="Nitroused383, post: 335970, member: 21332"] 257 is plenty capable of 500 yard shooting, quite a bit further if you use the right bullets. Ya the bullet selection isn't the greatest but how many bullets does a guy actually use? 115 vld for the long range stuff, kick em out around 3300-3500 fps will be one of the flatest shooting guns out there... Than if you want to rip some coyotes up load up some 85 grain pills to 3800-4000 fps gun) I think the 257 can do everything the 264 can do. 257 just does it alot faster. If you read around alot of people will agree the 25 caliber stuff does work on deer. How many bullets do you really need? Look at most 338 guys, they only use 1 bullet. I am getting a bc of .630 out of the 115 vld shooting out of my 25-06 AI @ 3427, this has been an accurate bc to 1000 yards. 16.3 moa @ 1000 yards with a 200 yard zero... thats pretty **** flat shooter.
