[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1161362, member: 12995"] They are so close in performance, I don't see how one could honestly say the .257 Wby is "better", other than strictly judging it based on a velocity comparison. There are pro's and cons to both. Having owned both for extended periods of time, I can say they are both great cartridges, and both are excellent for deer hunting. After shooting both side-by-side (both had 26" barrels), and after much comparison of both velocity and cartridge specs and dimensions, and case capacity vs. bullet diameter...I reached the conclusion that (personally) I prefer the .25-06 AI. To me, it is just a smoother shooting, milder recoiling cartridge, and it does not have as much muzzle blast, brass is cheap and readily available, and the average velocity differences I saw were within 100 fps of each other. My final thoughts on them, I don't think any animal shot with them is going to notice the difference between 3,300 and 3,400 fps when that bullet hits its mark. :cool: [/QUOTE]
