[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 891975, member: 1290"] I am serious. The 257 Wby in a 24" barrel might as well be a 25-06. On this caliber those 2" are about a 200 fps difference. A 24" 257Wby is about the same speed as my 25-06AI did. 257Wby factory ammo in a no freebore rifle equals a K-Boom in most spectacular fashion. Nothing wrong with a factory chamber. Mine shoots in the .2's and our burned up throat one still shoots .400". No one needs that sort of accuracy or speed for 300 yard deer hunting. A 257 Roberts will do that all day long. The 257Wby on a 5" target it has a point blank range of 400 yards. I thought you were interested in the glamour of having a 257 Weatherby in a real Mark 5 rifle.
