[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 890462, member: 72601"] Well with the 257 Weatherby will get you really flat trajectory out to about 500 yards (give or take). 25-06 doesn't really have much of anything over the 257 other than a little better barrel life. The Creedmoor gives you a much higher B.C. heavier bullet that is in a short action cartridge. Wont be as flat shooting as the 257 or 25-06 though. a 117 sst out of a 25-06 @ 3110 fps is dropping 38" and giving you 1028 foot lbs of energy @ 500 yards. The Creedmoor with a 120 A-max @ 2910 drops 41" and delivers 1065 foot lbs of energy@ 500 yards. or a 140 A-max dropping 45" and delivering 1237 foot lbs @ 500 yards. So id say the Creed definitely has the advantage over the 25-06. The 257 will be flatter than the 25-06 but i dont believe the 257 will have the energy a Creed will have. (it would be very close.) got all that of hornadys website. Plus with the Creed the short action will make it inherently more accurate. So which ever you want. If you want flat trajectory then get a 257. If you want energy get the Creed. Keep in mind that the recoil of the Creed is less than the 257. [/QUOTE]
