“.257 weatherby magnum”

If you’re a fan of the quarter-bores, the .257 Weatherby Magnum will perform above and beyond what you’d normally expect from this bore diameter.

The addition of a carbon fiber barrel rounds out the Mark V’s recent re-freshening and ensures that the Flying W brand’s flagship firearm is still one of the “it” rifles in the world of long-range hunting.

Based upon the success of the initial developments, Hornady has added nine new calibers to its Precision Hunter line.

If you’re looking for a rifle of larger diameter than your deer gun, which will complement the 7mms and .30s well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser should be a definite contender.

If you’re looking for something out of the norm, which can be housed in a handy rifle that hits hard, give the .338-06 a look. If you spend a bit of time with it, you’ll become a fan rather quickly.

These cartridges represent two of the earliest modern developments in .25 caliber, and both are perfect for deer- and antelope-sized game, but which has the ultimate advantage?
