Hammer bullets for elk and deer if my new Brux barrel shows up in time for my new rebarrel work 257 Weatherby mag. 7 1/2 twist too ??
i have not been shoot`n rifles much right now because its been 90`s very hot and the smoke from Canadian fires has been nasty too here in Minnesota .


Ok, I was just curious. I know its still technically a wildcat, but nobody else is calling it a 257 Creedmoor. There are several manufacturers making brass now and its stamped 25 Creedmoor, it seems like calling it a 257 when everybody else is calling it a 25 might cause more confusion.


you might be right ? not sure ? but when i posted 257 Creedmoor it appears it has got some attention. i do kinda worry about a mix up in bullet diameter too 6 mm /.244 - 25 /.257 - 6.5 / .264 used in a Creedmoor case could be a problem ? here`s couple more to think about 256 Newton cartridge that bullet diameter is a 6.5 /.264 . or a 22 Creedmoor verses a 22-250 both are close to the same cartridge ?
i don`t know the true answer but i think the name 257 Creedmoor has a little class like 257 Roberts ,257 Weatherby mag. even the old 250 Savage have in the past , some of us are just fan`s of a 25 Caliber or maybe just a little nut`s ?
