[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2191234, member: 101791"] Look at 25/06AI, and 115 or 117 grains bullet. Accubond. Taken 50 of so deer and antelope, but at the time I was using 120 gr SPBT Noslers. (they don't manufactures any longer. I started out 100 gr partition and it blood shot the entire left side of my first deer with that rifle. Never used them again. You may want to speed up the twist rate to somewhere around 7-1. Unsure what Hammer is building presently for 257 cal. The best shooting powder was MRP with Fed 210 primers for me. I loaded for three 25/06 rifles that group at about 1/2" @ 100yds. Easy reach to 500 yds. Longest shot was an antelope at about 550yds. in the early 80's Easy to fire form the brass, and plenty of it around. I never chronograph the load. Didn't have one at that time. Shot placement is the name of the game as stated above. Now today is a different story, with all the equipment out there. The other is I was never was a fan of wby, to much free bore. [/QUOTE]
