[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 175282, member: 313"] Chamber it in 25-06 and you may double the life of an expensive barrel. I can't tell you how many people told me how short my throat life would be when I had my first barrel chambered in 7 STW. With great care the accuracy life was not quite 1,000 rounds. All else being equal, the 257 STW would have measurably less bore life than the 7 STW. If all-out performance is more important than reasonable barrel life than the 257 STW would certainly be a fun cartridge to shoot. As to the 25 Banshee - I'm not familiar with this cartridge. Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this one. [/QUOTE]
