[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 495642, member: 505"] I went back and checked some loads. With a 100 grain bullet my 257 wby's hit in the 3700's and my STW's hit in the 3800's. Brass cost is the same if you do not use wby brass. Both do well in 26" barrels. The STW is harder on barrels. If you were going to use the heaviest 25 caliber bullets for long range shooting the STW would give you a little advantage. The 257 wby is not bad without a brake. The STW has more recoil. I shoot both without a brake but the STW gets to be noticable. [/QUOTE]
