[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1926981, member: 38048"] It's not a Sammi spec cartridge but it should have been what wby did instead of the 6.5-300. McWorter made it somewhat popular. I like it better that the 264winmag because of the long neck. It can be throated for the long heavies and still fit the light ones up to the rifling. Wbys are easy on throats because of the shoulder and long neck. 257wby has been my favorite round for over 30 yrs but the 6.5 bullet selection made me switch. I still own 3 257wbys but probably won't build anymore for myself. The 6.5-257wby gets almost the same speed as the 26nos and the 6.5wby with much less powder and much improved barrel life.
