[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 531451, member: 17128"] Good choice. I noticed that the water capacity of the 257 is 56 g., very similar to the 243 Win at 54 g. water. So these are virtually identical cartridges and the 243 is the universal starter rifle after the 22 long rifle. Also the 257 is usually in a long action...you can get the long bullets in the magazine. I would think a # 1 barrel at 20 or 21 inches would do the trick...not to heavy to carry around. long enough to get enough velocity to reach out a ways. I've always been a fan of the quarter incher anyways. If only for their versatility. [/QUOTE]
