Trying to decide if want a new 25-06 or try 257wby.any input be great thanks Steve
I have to agree w/Gary 257 Weatherby is kind of the ultimate. Mine is a lowly Vanguard sporter weight in an original synthetic stock and it is amazing how well it shoots. Have never reloaded for it as I bought 100 rnds of Weatherby ammo from midway of factory and have only shot a little over 1 box. I didn't need it when I bought it but bid on it during the very early days of gunbroker and won it. It had a 6-24 Japanese Tasco on it which I sold on ebay for something over 100 dollars and I only gave a little over 300 for it.The 25-06 is a fantastic hunting cartridge but given an accurate rifle, I love the 257Wby. It’s everything the 25-06 is plus some. You are shooting a 100 grain bullet as fast as a 22-250 is shooting a 55 grain. I have smacked quite a few deer and vaporized a few groundhogs and foxes with mine, now on it’s third barrel.
The 257 Wby was fast before being fast was cool!!
