Would have to agree here. That's why igot two. As far as legal hunting cartridges in alberta is concerned it can handle most situations. Without punishing recoil its a cartridge that will last a hunters lifetime.
It's not without its demons.
Imo a flat shooter is any time the horsepower to bullet weight ratio is imbalanced to favour improved velocity.
Also there has to be a donor cartridge in order to create a benchmark level of performance.
The 257stw is another notch up from the 257 wby.
There have been a few pilots of 257/300wby that are stellar performers. But barrel lifecycle is in the few hundred round category. It is the demon.
So back to the drawing board.
