Dunno what you consider "closer range mule deer, whitetails, etc." but have taken mule deer and whitetails beyond 300 yards with the .257, and both Eileen and I have taken numerous pronghorns from 350-450. In fact took my latest large-antlered pronghorn buck with a fast-twist .22-250 at 350 yards.


386yds on this one. .257 Roberts, factory Nosler 110 NAB. One, 110 NAB behind the shoulder, broke the off side leg. Stumbled forward and gave it up.
