cripes, and here i was thinkin i couldnt possibly justify another deer rifle, and then you folks go posting up some pix of these 257's. and i have a .25 fetish already. i see a new project and a thiner wallet in the future.

some questions...

1) how much oomph does the .257Wby gain over the 25/06AI ??
i ask because i have a remmy sendero stainless fluted in 25/06, might make more sense to punch it out. it has a 26" tube..but i'm leaning towards something lighter. and that gives me an excuse for another gun.

2) i'm a cheap bastid at heart, and already have a bunch of 7mm rem mag brass (and no 7mag either)...aside from possibly neck turning, will those do for reforming to .257wby? or i should say, can i reform those with standard full length .257wby dies so i dont have to buy a set of forming dies?

3) .257Wby versus .257STW...what made you go with the .257Wby?

4) buulets on whitetails...how do the 117's/120's hold up at zippy speeds?

all thoughts & opinions welcomed.

Regards;

Gerald
