[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2482733, member: 94632"] the factory ammo selections for 257 wby are not very elk ready. As with just about every chambering that’s been around a while, the twist rate is not heavy bullet friendly, so distances will be limited Look at a ballistics table for reference. Although the wbys have extra freebore, it’s not enough for the long and slippery bullets to stay in the neck. If you Add some freebore to a 9 twist it would be a much better elk gun. I won’t comment on the price of the ammo. It’s all high. All that said, it’s a beast inside of 450 yds on eeer, pronghorn and the like. [/QUOTE]
