257 weatherby

200 yds or less, slow down those 120's to 2900 or so and you'll be just fine if a critter steps out at close range.

257 Wby is one of my all time favs, I love the 100 Horn sp at around 3500 for all comers. No problemo from elk on down near or far.

The 80 TTSX would be awesome as would the 90 Hammer if you could wrap your head around mono's

When season comes along, I will!
Have a buck tag & 6 doe tags.

Got one doe tag that will turn into good meat!

Alas, I'm the hunter in my family. But everyone in my family for some reason expects deer meat.

Trying to get my daughter out with me this year with the Mauser I built for her in 7X57 Mauser.

Nice cal for starting someone into hunting. In fact the à good cal for any hunter

Have seen to much mono bullet faild to open or change trajectory after hitting game that why. And the fact that they always exit often translate into less énergie dump in the animal.

But that like Ford vs chevrolet dilema at one point. You git to stick with what you like.

The energy dump nonsense is a myth. By the time the bullet travels through the animal it's expended most if not all of its tissue crushing energy.

That said in a fast rig you will want a stout bonded bullet or a screaming fast mono.

I use Accubonds and Barnes in my 257 Wby.

I was running the 100 grain Barnes and now switched to the Hammer 92grain hunter.Farthest shot was 650 and she just stumbled and tipped over with the Barnes.Had some mixed results with Barnes.So far the Hammers have 3 kills-1 at 100yards and 2 between 400 and 450 and great results so far.7828 has been great.Current load is pushing them at 3850 if memory serves me right and still room for more.
Fun cartridge for sure

Like I said in #2.

Go for it! You should be OK with the proper shot placement.

Why complicate it unnecessarily?

Will look what I can have. I dont what to complicate stuff, many are saying speer btsp are to soft but I'am having great result with my speerin 150gr for the 308win and 160gr in 7mm mag.

It just that I never had a rifle that fast so im in new grass. But im always going fir lung/heart area so just about any bullet should do from point blank to 300yrds as my hunting line give me.
