Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 257 Weatherby Enough for Barbary?

I've got a NM Barbary hunt coming up in February, and was wanting to use my 257 Wby. I just got the rifle last year, it's a Remington 700 LSS, with a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 RZ800 mounted on it. I've only had one opportunity to test it out on an animal (last weekend on a mulie), and it performed great. I'm sighted in with 100gr TSX factory rounds.

I realize that shot placement is key, regardless of caliber. However, from what I've read, Barbary seem to have some sort of mythical ability to soak up the punishment. I do have a .270 Win and a .300 Win Mag that I could also take. I guess I just want to give the new rig another test ride.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!
