[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1702545, member: 102560"] I love my 257 weatherby...that being said if I drew a coveted elk tag--it would not be in my pack. I have taken a lot of game--mostly axis, whitetail, Aoudad, hogs, probably the biggest a oryx...now while it tipped over everything like lighting I have been using berger 115 VLD hunters--and the bullet is not the most confidence inspiring on penetration. Most of the time I'm carrying my 257 is in places I live or very familiar with--I pick and choose my shots...I had a fleeting thought of carrying it to Mongolia but decided against it...and took a 7mm...same as Kergz I'm taking a 7mm SAUM...more bullet weight wins every time for me... With the new blackjack bullet got me thinking about a good 1-7 twist barrel...but it shoots so good now....maybe in another 500-600 rounds...by that time I might or might not have that itch [/QUOTE]
