[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 1510, member: 34"] Hello Big sky and welcome The 257 Weatherby will be fine for the ranges you want to be proficient at, 400 to 600 yards. The problem wuth the 25 cal is a shortage of good higher BC bullets for it. 100 gr is what I used to shoot in mine along with the 25-06 and 25 Gibbs. Just a suggestion, the 6/5/300 Weatherby with the 140, 142 and 155 Gr Sierra MK (Real good BC) can be made into a fine rifle at 15# or less and will out perform the 257 Weatherby hands down. Just a thought since you live in an area to reach out further and have the rifle to do it, once you perfect the 400 to 600 yard range. Good luck with your decision and the 257 will do what you want at 400 to 600 yards which was your original question. Darryl Cassel [ 02-28-2002: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
