[QUOTE="Westernhunter6, post: 1069054, member: 89715"] Thanks for the input everyone. From what I've read, the faster you push the lead free bullets, the better for reliable expansion. That's what made me look into the .257 Weatherby. After researching it, I really like everything I have read about the .257. I will own one eventually, whether for CA or when I go to WY (about every other year). I have a lot of experience with .270s and as stated, tried and true. My great grandpa was a custom rifle builder and that was his go to gun. And the 6.5 sounds like a really fun gun to shoot and I like the ballistics. I don't feel I can go wrong with any of them, I just want to make sure I get good expansion at 600 yards. Here is the only options in the etip for these calibers: .257- 100gr. BC 0.409 SD 0.216 6.5- 120gr. BC 0.497 SD 0.246 .277- 130gr. BC 0.459 SD 0.242 I hate that CA feels they need to complicate everything! [/QUOTE]
