My wife and I have shot dozens of pronghorns, whitetails and mule deer with the .257, including some with my grandmother's Remington 722. The animals have included some of our better trophies, including the biggest whitetails Eileen and I have taken, at ranges out to 400+ yards. Have used a bunch of bullets, including 100 Hornady Interlock, 100 Barnes TSX (both tipped and not), 100 Speer Hot-Cor, 115 Berger VLD, 117 Sierra and Hornady, 100 and 115 Nosler Ballistic Tips, and 100, 115 and 120 Nosler Partitions. Oh, and one of my biggest mule deer was taken with the old 120-grain Nosler Solid Base. All the bullets worked fine.
