[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 1906260, member: 109801"] I wouldn't say it is worth the extra velocity to go weatherby if you al ready have that. A 25-06 or 25-06AI will move bullets along plenty well. The weatherby will burn barrels faster and burn more powder. If this rifle wasn't setup on a magnum bolt face I would probably have built a 25-06AI or 6.5-06. Don't get me wrong, I love my 257 weatherby, but your rifle will get it done. You are having the same debate I had when I chose this. I almost built this rifle in 264 Win Mag instead of 257 Roy, but I already have a 6.5x55. They both shoot 264 caliber bullets, and my 6.5x55 will do just about anything I need. Making a 264 Win Mag would have been cool, but would not have served me as well IMO. [/QUOTE]
