[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1832788, member: 5219"] I vote for the 257 Weatherby but not with a 131 bullet but the 115 Berger. Reason is flatter trajectory with decent BC. Could go with a 110 Accubond which would also be flat but loosing some BC. Seeing you have the big bore for elk bear etc use this for deer, antelope and the occasional varmint. Five of us came up with a combination that has stunning performance. 26-28" 3 groove Lilja 1 in 10 twist with moly coated Bergers and a custom reamer made by Pacific Tool and Gauge with some variations on Weatherby's chamber. RL-25 or RL-33 with a 27.5" -28" barrel is getting 3650-3675 fps! Most of us are using it for LR coues wt. At 4000 ft my rifle is 3.1" @ 100, and 8" low at 500 yds. The past two seasons I didn't have to touch a turret just aim and shoot. To date the five of us have taken quite a few animals: 27 coues wt 6 elk 4 mule deer 2 antelope a few javelina, coyotes and jackrabbits many kills are DRT and some didn't even twitch! [/QUOTE]
