[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2050975, member: 115070"] Got a ride in a P51 once. Give me a chance for another trip vs a ride in an F22 or F35 and I'd go back up in the Mustang. Pulling 4Gs doing Cuban-8's is a blast. As for the .257 WBY, love the caliber, but as has been said it has a particular niche. Mine likes TTSX, but with a factory Vanguard barrel anything heavier/longer is a problem. As for the bullet manufacturers, they'll start making better bullets when 1:8 barrels become standard. 1:8 barrels will become standard when bullets are available....... same old problem..... the quarter-bore curse. I shot a pronghorn 4 or 5 years ago and really wanted the cape for a nice buck my daughter had shot in the neck. I shot mine at about 75 yards behind the shoulder and the impact split the cape from the mid abdomen to right behind the ear. *!#@*! If monolithic bullets have a place anywhere, the .257 bee is the perfect fit for them. Better to be out beyond 200-300 yards though. :) As for the OP's desire to use it to 800 yards, as has been amply shared, you're either stuck with tuning custom bullets to custom barrels, or choosing something else. Out to 500-600, it's pretty good medicine out of the box, at least for me. [/QUOTE]
