[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5076358, member: 12277"] To my way of thinking when choosing between the 25-06 or 257 Weatherby for deer it depends on several factors. If you regularly hunt in places where shots well beyond 300 yards are common then you might want to get the flattest trajectory you can to make shots easier. You need to compare trajectory charts though to see if the gains you are getting are worth the extra cost and trouble you will have going with a Weatherby cartridge and possibly Weatherby brand rifle. The 25-05 doesn't exactly have a rainbow trajectory itself. :) However, if you are the type who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the ultimate performance then the 257Weatherby is the one for you in the 25 caliber family. Being that I spent nearly $2,000 on a groundhog rifle and accessories chambered for the 22 Cheetah Mk I wildcat back in 1988 it's obvious that I'm willing to do that sometimes at least. I fully realize the small gain I made compared to a 22-250 but went into it with both eyes open as to what I was paying for a relatively small but noticeable gain in trajectory. [/QUOTE]
