ME TOO...
As I have stated on here many times, the .257 Weatherby is HELL ON WHEELS.. my first experience ever seeing one used was when I first moved to Montana almost 30 years ago..guy smacked a pronghorn at over 600 yards..

I tried numerous factory Weatherby rifles however none ever shot well enough so I built my own..built 2 actually ..both with Hart barrels..they shoot very very well...use them still for deer and antelope..would not hesitate in the least to shoot an elk, caribou or black bear with one...using 100gr Barnes Triple Shocks..3675-3700fps...what's not to love...have used Nosler ballistic tips before on pronghorn...well enough for them but too much speed to use them on anything much bigger...
