Moose, Have had several rebarreled 700's in .257 Wea. Mostly used it on coyotes, antelope and deer.. I have a 7mm Wea. 300, and 340.. I use the .340 least, but it is a great caliber.. I no longer have the .257.. I use my 7mm instead.. I can shoot a 120 for coyotes and deer faster out of it than the .257 and still have the option of heavier bullets.. I bought Rem. brass for the 300, and made the 340 brass out of 8 mag. brass.. the 7mm is easily made from 7mm Rem. brass.. I like the Wea. calibers.. But my fav. is still the .300 win.
