257 weatherby or 6.5x300

[6.5x300ced]

Hi,

Was looking last year to get a 257bee but end Up having the 6.5x300, like the rifle shot sub Moa at 200yrds with 156 berger hand load.

But now the taste for the 257 is back... Should I juste Play with bullet weight in the 6.5x300 or should I get the 257 and Play with light for caliber bullet ....

Rifle will be use under 400yrds as I Do have stuff for the longer range if need.

Weatherby rifles are like eating peanuts, after the first one it's hard to stop. You don't need to justify each rifle for a specific purpose. My .240 and .257 do overlap more than the .257 and .300. All have harvested game and have justified their purpose. I really don't need a .340, but.....

Both will do the job beyond 400 yds if the shooter is capable of it.

I know that, have had a 338 Win mag Vanguard... Sold IT... Never Will mâle that mistake again.

Deer season is to close to get a New varguard un Time but the 257 might came in fast anyway...

I Do understand for the 340... Pass one un m'y young age.... Now I wish they mâle one varguard un that caliber...

I’m still scratching my head as to why you bought the 6.5-300?   

Joking aside the .257 I’d my favorite, think you would enjoy one also

So if you have every Weatherby caliber from 224 to 340 you would consider this as having a problem? lol

257 is my all time favorite and will be till the day I die. Get one you'll love it, if you roll your own remember the bullet selection isn't' what the 6.5's or many others offer but plenty of premium bullets out there that do the deed just fine.

I have a deluxe and backcountry in 6.5-300. I would say 270 as far as effectiveness for medium sized game would be close to it's performance but a solid choice as well. I shoot 130 grain scirocco's in 6.5-300, RPM and 270 - I do have a ruger 1 in 270bee that shoots 150 grain a-frames nice brush buster round! LOL

I like letting the hot rods be hot rods, if yours likes the EOL's they are lethal, messy at close ranges but lethal none the less;

welcome to the club;

6.5x300 was in the store so got IT ans love IT.
M'y load is half moa at 200yrds with 156gr, got my deer with 127gr lrx last year ans it drop fast.

The 257 un thé 307 model is calling me 😅. Could compare with m'y Vanguard if I do the move.

the 307 in the wood is intriguing to me, but i haven't seen them in LH models so i'm good!

couple of my favorite southpaw 257's
