Well I vote for the 257 Bob. I shoot a 6.5 x 55 a lot so this whole thread is nothing more than its the end of July and unless you live in Alaska, hunting season dose not start for another month and a half. I'M including a spring a string and a sharp stick ( that would be bows for those of you in Rio Linda). I see that we are all Bored, this summer is almost over and Fall will be here soon enough. The Bob is a hand Loaders thing these days but lay in 500 cases and you are going to be set for your life time. Ammo it not the issue here, there is not to much in the way of Big Game hunting in North America were you would be at a disadvantage by shooting a Bob, I can think of only two were I would want more gun, and in those two cases I would want at least a .30-06.
