I have finally made my mind up guys! i been looking at a dozzen or so calibers and i picked out a weatherby vanguard in a .257 weatherby mag cause i have glanced at the prices for premium shells in all name brands and down in ms bout everything here is bout $50 a box for shells so what yall think bout the .257 weatherby!

have you heard of the .257 hot tamale.
Bad mutha!

You are probably going to pay more for bullets because it is a "Weatherby".

It's a great caliber... a real flat shooting, barn burner. Good luck.

good rifle, you will be happy

I hear you on the premium bullets, nowadays just about anything loaded with a good bullet will cost you.

Remington chambers the .257 in a rifle now too, was surprised to see that.

It's a smoker for sure. Recently read an article on it being a great all around....kinda likened it to the .270, saying for the guy who hunts deer and may occasionally hunt elk, it would be a great choice.

Sounds like your mind is made up, and I see no reason to talk you out of it.

Speaking of wby vanguard, they chamber the .270wsm, that's probably a round you can most liken it to, though I suspect you've already considered all rounds...

One of the guys I work with has a SUB-MOA in .257 Wby, and he really likes it. Of course, he's raking in the big bucks, and I just work for him. So.... I'll stick to Remington Express .243's for $13 per box...

My buddy has a .257 Weatherby Mark V... it is his favorite rifle...

That Hot Tamale is incredible. If you reload take a look at it.
