Interesting comment Pete....Several of us use the 25 cal 115 hunting bullet in our 257s to take a few animals with excellent results and many DRTs:
I have taken 12 coues wt and one antelope to date. The other guys have taken another 15 coues, 4 mule deer, 6 elk another antelope and 2 javelina.
maybe i got some poor bullets from Berger bullets ? the whitetail bucks i shot were big deer ? i don`t care if you like Berger bullets , i now use 103 gr. Hammer Bullets at a speed of 3700 FPS ,my old Ruger #1 shoots much better with Hammer bullets too so far had 2 bang flop animals one shot kills. the buck dressed 193 lbs. this year , that`s about the size of 2 or 3 Coues deer . son and i shot 3 big bucks with Berger bullets they dressed 185 lbs. ,210 lbs. and 225 lbs. all were weighed the same day these bucks were shot over 2 years. we now both use Hammer bullets we like the vapor trail when we pull the trigger > speed kills . >you wanna buy some Berger HUnting bullets ?
