The best judge of this in my mind is someone who has both, the Mark V 26 inch barrel, and the vanguard 24 inch barrel. The person I spoke with said he loves his vanguard about as much as his mark v and velocity loss is only 50fps between his two rifles. That is still quite fast enough in my book to justify loading the 257 wby in a 24 inch barrel. I dont load to save money, so I dont care if it burns 10 more grains than a 25-06. I think weatherby is smart to release their propriority cartridges in the Vanguard. They have several custom stocks you can upgrade to, and what if, they began offering a custom barrel upgrade also. They could really have something with that. Myself, I suspect I will really enjoy shooting Roy Weatherby's favorite cartridge. The most important thing for you to do is what you want to do. Perhaps I would re barrel a few years down the road, it's sitting in a rifle that definately can handle the weatherby loads. | ||

JC, did you ever check to see what the weatherby factory ammo velocity was coming out of your 24 inch tube? Just curious if you did that. | |||
