[QUOTE="Michael O'Connor, post: 1601157, member: 103722"] I believe the Designer is fulfilling a need that hasn't been addressed, ever. David Tubb has already wrung out one of the best designs on a high B.C. 6mm bullet. There are many high B.C 7mm bullets on the market already. The niche market for the .257 comes at a good time as there will be a comparatively low recoil for a 131 grain bullet in both PRS and for hunting. The retained energy with a high sectional density will provide great penetration and good expansion for medium bone density deer and antelope sized animals at distances up to 600-900 yards with 2050+ FPS & 1200+ ft.lbs. of remaining energy at 900 yards in a SST sized case. For long distance target, 1500 - 1600 yds can easily be attained before declining to a transonic velocity, dependant upon elevation and other atmospheric factors. Subsonic velocity will probably not appear until after reaching ~1875 yds. There clearly has been a demand and need for this bullet since they came out with the 300 & 600 yd. Match bullets more than 25 years ago as there has been a rich and long history of quarter-bore Cartridges. Actually most of us are very proud of the bullet designer and others like him including cartridge designers that have the wherewithal and vision to address Hunter and Shooter's needs. 1850+ FPS & 1000+ft.lbs @ 1100 yds is nothing to sneeze at. Thank you Gentlemen ! [/QUOTE]
