[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1710544, member: 38048"] I have the 6.5-257wby reamer and it makes a very much improved 257wby. You can still shoot 100 or 120 grain bullets. But faster. Then the bc is so much higher on the 6.5. At 600 yards the 257 has 1200 foot pounds. The 6.5 Has 1300 ft pounds at 1000 yards. I really love my 257wbys but why can't they do a tweener bullet? Take a 105 6mm with a 550 bc and blend the 6.5 140 with a 650 bc together. Should be a 600 bc 117 gn. But there is nothing close to that. I have 115 gr match 257 that have a 520. 25 will always be a proverbial redheaded s__p c___d until bullet maker do some high bc bullets. I think the 6.5 wby will sell good. Basically a modded up 6.5-06ai. Shep [/QUOTE]
