[QUOTE="larks99, post: 1332383, member: 88977"] The first rifle I purchased was a Weatherby Fibermark in .257 weatherby. I started reloading for it day 1 since weatherby ammo was so expensive. Ballistically the gun is amazing. Flat shooter, lots of velocity and capable of taking Elk. It's a great all around gun. My main complaint, is the lack of bullet selection for reloading. For some reason the bullet manufacturers have decided to skip over the .257 bullets. There is much better bullet selection in the 6.5mm (.264) or 6mm (.243) than the 25s. The 115g bergers are about the highest BC bullet you can get, but they don't really come close to the great selection of 6.5mm offerings that are out there. I own:257 weatherby, 6.5 creed, 7mm-08, 7rem mag and other smaller calibers. You can't beat the ballistics of the .284 bullets. If you're wanting another gun (and who doesn't), I would look at the 6.5mm's since you already have the 7-08. [/QUOTE]
