I still see the 257wby as a niche rifle, not much of an all-rounder. It's good for quick shots at hastily-estimated ranges inside of 500yds, as that's really the only advantage to the lazerbeam trajectory with .400-420BC 100-grain game bullets at 3,650fps+. In almost any other scenario, there are more sensible options that likely require less powder and less barrel length.
