[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1453905, member: 5219"] Recoil is about the same as a 7 Rem mag with 120s. Five of us have 257 Weatherby semi customs. We have our own reamer and used Lilja 3 groove SS barrels. All of us use 115 Berger VLD. They are used primarily for coues wt. (which IMO is the perfect chambering for these tiny deer) Some of the kills are so fast the spotter can miss the animal dropping if they blink at the wrong time. (well almost) To date the five of us have killed : 21 coues 4 mule deer 2 antelope (hard to get tags) 6 elk I wore out the first barrel trying different bullets and powders. mThe count was 900 but salvaged it for another 100 or so using the 110 accubond as the bergers were unravelling in flight. Now using second barrel which should last many years into the future. Will only shoot the occasional long range jackrabbit, some LR practice and a coues wt plus antelope if a tag shows. [/QUOTE]
