[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660422, member: 30902"] It's a great varmint round, and out to about 300-400yds a decent deer cartridge. I hunted for many years with a Dr who shot one that had been given to him by his father and he eventually came around and had it redone as a .264WM after watching one too many antelope (pronghorn) which he'd hit perfectly run over four hundred yards before hitting the ground with a lot of life left in it. If I wanted to build a custom along these lines I'd probably go the same route or maybe go with the 6.5x284. You just have so much of a better slection of Higher BC heavier bullets for the 6.5's they leave the .257's in the dirt. If I just had to have a .257 though the .257Wby would certainly be the way I'd go. [/QUOTE]
