257STW worth a look too depending on what you can find for brass. Basically the same thing minus the double-radius shoulder.It's on my to do list

0mph to 50mph back to 0mph all in the same day and from every direction but east usuallyHow are the winds?
There are more efficient cartridges out there that will duplicate 257wby and likely 257stw without having to burn all that powder and deal with a belt.257STW worth a look too depending on what you can find for brass. Basically the same thing minus the double-radius shoulder.
Oh I've considered it. But I'm probably gonna go .25-300 wby for a few reasons - or just leave the existing barrel alone as the 25-06 AI it currently is. It's a very lightly used (throat in great shape) ultra heavy 32 inch bartlein stainless barrel I got on an auction. Just a barrel with a tentative plan for now, things gonna be tight for a bit but within the next few years planning to go ahead and do a cheap build off a savage long action as a single shot, totally impractical and just a pure exercise in hot-roddery.257STW worth a look too depending on what you can find for brass.

That probably is the actual winner haha…for technical "cartridge" anyway. The electromagnetic rail gun is faster but, alas, does not use cartridges at all (or work particularly well for long term use…and requires and dang nuclear powered generator to adequately electrify if on a ship or anything mobile as nothing else remotely portable generates enough juice ….ill take the cartridge guns thank you!)120mm with depleted uranium sabot with muzzle velocity right at 5000 fps?
LOL! This is one of the reasons I prefer heavy/high BC bullets. Below in 2015, while antelope hunting.0mph to 50mph back to 0mph all in the same day and from every direction but east usually
For preferred suppressed hunting/shooting.Question: with a heavy high BC bullet for caliber and large case, why choose a barrel less than 26"?
Yes, but I also have rifles with 26-30" barrels, and I can use my suppressors. It just depends on the mood of the day.More speed counters breeze and flattens the path as you well know. I'm curious is all!
Handiness. I've got a 1:7 bbl on the way for a Kimber Montana that will become a 22Creed. It will be finished @ 22".Question: with a heavy high BC bullet for caliber and large case, why choose a barrel less than 26"?

No replacement for displacement.There are more efficient cartridges out there that will duplicate 257wby and likely 257stw without having to burn all that powder and deal with a belt.
It's a little heavy to pack around in the hills.That probably is the actual winner haha…for technical "cartridge" anyway.
