I’ve killed some nice bucks and a couple big caribou bulls with it doing 3800 out of my 257wby. It absolutely slushes their insides. No problems busting a shoulder either, in fact I put one through both scapulas of one caribou and it exited.

The 100gr Solid base I came into a stash off has been excellent as well.

Cool photo. The little hunter, nice rack, purposeful looking rifle. Good stuff.

I hadn't considered the 85 grain Ballistic Tip for deer. Interesting thought, thanks.

Yes, years ago I got some of those 100 grain Solid Base bullets when SPS was selling them. Accurate and deadly, no doubt. Mine are for the 6mm Remington though, not a .257" rifle.
