I like the CCI Subs myself. Not as fast, running just under 1,000 FPS.

Post by: Bearhunter on January 01, 2010, 09:57:54 PM: Heard good things about the Sirocco's. Is that a Remington 257wby mag in the picture? Id still really like to have a 257wby.

Post by: 257 Wby Mag on January 01, 2010, 10:05:26 PM: Yep. 700 LSS. He just sent the bolt back to Kampfeld, flute job,hunter knob, and skeletonized bolt handle. He's also ordering a McMillan for it. Just won't leave well enough alone!! grin... Another pard has the 257 in the CDL fluted/blued. Also a nice gun. Perty cool round, got some 80 TTSX's to work with, they should be deer killin sumbitches!!
