25-06 imp vs 257wby
I'm getting ready to order a new rifle from Kevin Weaver for Deer Hunting. It will be built on a 700 action I already own and will have a 26" Pac Nor barrel. I am having a hard time deciding which round. I plann to use a 100gr TSX on every thing. Does any onehave sugestions.
If it won't shoot the 100gr TSX I'll sell it and start over.

I own both and like them both. It boils down to how fast you want to shoot that bullet. the 25-06Imp will do 3550fps. The 257Wby will do 3700fps. Since I got my 257 my 25-06Imp has been serving it's time in the safe. That 100 grain bullet at 3700fps redefines the meaning of flat shooting.
