[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 976755, member: 68226"] I am biased on many things in the rifle and accuracy world, Weatherby is very hard to beat and can not be out done by any out of the box rifle. Most of the cartridges are better than many of the wildcats. However the efficiency of the 257 with todays components compared to the 25 06 is not as much as one would think. A non Ackley, non improved, 25 06 loaded with a 100 gr ttsx, Pushed by a max load of rl 25 and a mag primer will impress you to no end. Free bore it to the max in a 26 tube and watch the chrono go to 3650.. NO SH!T On a side note the ttsx really likes to be pushed hard. This bullet will out perform all competitors bullets up to and including the 120 gr class. It will out penetrate, out kill and the hydrostatic shock is phenomenal. Shoots flatter too. Mud. Fire lap that barrel. There was a production run of Criterions that did not come out so good. You have one. [/QUOTE]
