[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2905851, member: 109862"] Congrats! I’ve yet to “win” a rifle haha. But I’ve had my .257 weatherby for a little over a year now. Man I love that cartridge. Such a sweet spot performance wise. Shoots flatter than my .243, kicks less than my .270, and even on inanimate targets like water jugs and stuff it “seems” to hit way harder than that little bullet should. What’s not to love? Besides barrel life… It was one of those cartridges that for whatever reason I’ve wanted since I was a kid. Just fascinated me. Same with the .358 Norma magnum, for some reason. I now have rifles in both those calibers. The 300 RUM is currently on my “I want one” list, as is a good condition savage 99 in .250-300 savage or .358 Winchester. And it’s defied a lot of my expectations based on “conventional wisdom”. For example it only has a 24 inch barrel. All logic says that performance should be suboptimal and barely better than a .25-06 at that length. But I’ve got 100 Barnes tsx doing about 3500, 100 grain Nosler b tips doing 3700, and 75 grain hammer hunters doing 4150 fps. And the freebore doesn’t seem to make this an inaccurate round at all. AT ALL 😁😁😁 [/QUOTE]
