[QUOTE="bluefish, post: 439169, member: 22424"] After more than 20 years of service, it looks like the barrel on my old Model 700 in 7mm rem will need a refresh. Since I have another 7mm rem mag and a 280 AI, I'm looking at something new and different. The .257 Weatherby Mag is interesting as a potential deer and antelope rifle. May also be used to aggravate our local goundhogs at extreme ranges. As a long time 257 Roberts shooter this will obviously be a big upgrade in .257 horsepower From what i read, here and at other sources, it looks like the best best for new barrel would be somthing like: Barrel Length - 25 inches Twist - 1 in 9 Bullets; High BC 115 gr - 130 gr No turn neck (vice Weatherby freebore) I know a lot of regulars here shoot the 257 Weatherby a lot, so any corrections to the above or suggestions appreciated [/QUOTE]
