What are you HOPING to accomplish? Why said chambering? Hint.

The CLR's are pieces of fhuqking schit,due COAL. Hint.

The 8400 grants more,if you happen to like it's ergos. Hint.

A Mark V would be my last choice for ANY fhuqking chambering,mainly because they are pieces of fhuqking schit. Hint.

In fairness however,I've shot out (5) 257 WBY spouts on Custom 700's(lotsa COAL there). Hint.

Do you reload? Hint.

The sooner you become realistic and look at boolits first,you'll look to chamber much differently. Hint.

Very easy to arrange a Montucky 84L High RPM Six Twat-Six,that'll crush the 257Wby. Hint.

1-8" Bartlein here,in a dupe,wearing reduced shank. (4) pokes in the belly,minimal recoil and meaningful BC's,at meaningful velocity...with 20-ish less grains of powder. Hint.

Easy for me to say,as I simply shoot it all and then some. Hint.

You've been led to water.

Thank me later.
