[QUOTE="257Tony, post: 1832655, member: 67337"] I like the sound of the 257, but I'd be leery of building a custom rifle around 1 bullet. With the 264 you've got near endless choices of good, high bc hunting bullets. I'd do a 264 with a 28" carbon barrel, throated for 156's, you can still use 147 eld or 140 Berger with it if you want. 8 twist is plenty unless you plan to hunt sea level. IMHO, the 257 is best used as a hyper velocity laser with 100 grain bullets at 3700+, hold fur out to 400+. [/QUOTE]
