[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 36087, member: 10"] Johnny K. THe 257 STW rifles I have been building are getting 1000 to 1200 rounds of very useful big game accuracy barrel life. I use Lilja stainless barrels with 3 groove rifling and this seems to help limit throat erosion. A tight throat is also very important to getting decent barrel life with this hot round. Recoil with top end loads(100 gr at +4000 fps and 115 gr at +3700 fps, 130 gr at +3500 fps) is very similar to a 7mm Rem Mag shooting a 140 gr bullet in similar weigh rifles. I just sent a rifle out the door fitted with a Holland QD brake that kicked about the same as my sporter weight 22-250 rifles. This rifle weighed 7 3/4 lbs with a 27" barrel. Your 700 action would be perfect, no action work needed, just rebarrel adn do the other accuracy work and you would be up and running with one of the fastest and flattest shooting rifles out to 500 yards on the planet. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
