Ale81. I have used the 257 in Kentucky for several years and think you will be very pleased. I'm sure 100 gr bullets will be fine but you might as well use a 243. I have had excellent luck with both 120 gr corelokt and 117 gr. interlocks using H414 and pushing around 2800 fps. Furthest I've had a deer go is about 35 yds. Never caught a bullet.

Gotta love that Clark Co stump water.
