[QUOTE="droptine, post: 2191221, member: 1258"] I have both, I guess I prefer the 257 I have. Mainly cause of the rifle, not the caliber. My 257 wby is Mark X mauser action with a hand me down SS Hart Barrel that was a take off my gun smith buddy gave me. Its sub moa everytime it goes to the range. With that said, so is my old Rem 700 25/06. its a dang good shooter that I bought back in the early 90's for 150 bucks. As far as velosity, I bet if you compare Factory 25-06 to 257 Wby handloads even top of the chart you might see 200 ft per second, but thats my guess. I have not shot them over a chrono in many years but I did years back and seem like my hand loads were only 150 fps difference. With all that said at 65 I'm not going to trust my memory. Other than they are both good rounds. For 90, 100 grain varmint shooting, 25/06 seems to make more sense. Deer, Wby may get the edge. Just depends on what you want I guess. [/QUOTE]
