[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1369096, member: 84273"] Welcome to the forum! For what you intend to do with the rifle, if you use good bullets, there is no whitetail on the planet that is going to walk away after being hit with a 257 Weatherby. What makes you think you'd be better suited with a 270 or 7mm? If the rifle shoots well, I'd just leave it be and build another gun. If you're looking for higher BC bullets, Hammer and Cutting Edge have good bullets if you have the required barrel twist. However, if you're set on a rebore, Dan Pendersen at Classic Barrel and Gunworks has done one for me. He does a good job and stands behind his work. Just know that it'll cost about as much as a new barrel anyway. Today with as many good barrels there are for a value, there is little reason to rebore a barrel save a few scenarios. [/QUOTE]
