Hi Rob,
Let me know what bullets you are considering to shot out of your 257 stw I have an old mag that has some reloads for it.
I was thinking about rechambering a No.1 2506 into a 257 stw the speeds are something,there showing 100 grn bal tips at 3700 and 3800 fps.Thats fast and I bet flat as hell.Make one heck of a varmint rig.Its showing 75 grns at over 4000 fps.
