[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1479793, member: 12995"] I owned and loaded for a .257 Wby from 2008-2014...And have had my .25-06 AI from 2014-current. Real world performance difference is about 50-75 FPS MV. The Wby was putting out an average around 3,350 FPS MV, the .25-06 AI was around 3,275-3,300 average. I even tested it side-by-side at the range next to my .25-06 AI using my MSv2. Both rifles barely showing any pressure signs (cratered primers, but no ejector swipes), with Berger 115's and 7828, using .257 Wby/Norma brass, and Winchester .270 Win brass, I was getting between 50-75 FPS difference averages. Don't believe me, build your own and find out. But being that yall are Wby fans, I don't expect an unbiased outcome. I'm not talking crap, as I'm telling you the Wby was indeed faster, but not enough for me to justify the cost of brass/ammo. Also, fire-forming is not difficult to do. The only reason I will own another .257 Wby someday is because I have well over $1,000 worth of factory ammo, dies, and brass invested in what could only be described as a "mongolian clusterf*ck" of a situation. I'm actually considering selling all the factory ammo & once-fired brass. [/QUOTE]
