I hand load and have since I was 10. I have been shooting a ruger red but 220 swift since then. My dad had one and I now have my own. Mine just had its second new barrel installed as I bought it with a shot out one for a very good price. The first barrel had a life of 2100 rounds before it...

So I have a 220 swift, a 7mm REM mag. , a 30-06, a 416 and a 338 saum. So I want something I can shoot that 80 to 100 grain varment rounds for bobtail on windy days and still shoot a white tail or black tail at over 400 .. so that is why I want a 257

Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to get a prethreaded barrel for this gun in a 257 . I wanted a 257 that is more than just an off the shelf rifle and thought that the 116 in stainless would be an easier start as it has a barrel nut so I can headspace it myself and it has a accu-trigger so I wouldn't...

Were I am from. 25 rifles are not sought out and I feel that the negatives of the 257 are outweighed by the value of the name id if I ever decied to go to a 6mm and sell this rifle.

So I can get a 116 savage in 300 win mag. In stainless. Would this be a good start to building a good hunting rifle in a 257, will the rounds feed in the 300 win mag. Clip?
