Read with great interest in this as I have been shooting a .257 Weatherby for about 8 years.. with one of my best friends shooting a 25-06..while I do believe they are close--IMHO, the .257 Weatherby still rules the roost ..

The last time we went out together..he has a lightweight variety of Weatherby..we reloaded 100gr Barnes Triple shocks..(used that bullet was we both carry these for deer and antelope..however occassionally use them in the spring for bear or run into a elk in the fall)..anyway..he was getting slightly over 3400 with the 25-06--and yes, the loads were quite hot...having said that it was with a 24" barrel..

I was shooting a Remington titanium action custom with a Hart Barrel.26" and HS stock..Timmney trigger..-same bullet..and have chronographed loads shooting 3 holes touching at 3800 fps..again very hot load..but shootable..have since loaded it down to 3750 fps..

Actually had this discussion yesterday in Ennis, MT at Shedhorn Sports--with a dealer who shot at the annual Cooper Challenge last week...(if you own a Cooper, you can go there for this annual event--one shot competition)..he stated with his 26" he was shooting 115 gr bullet at 3140 fps..with basically one hole groups...again, with my loads I am over 200 fps faster with same bullet..

This is only "my" experience ..as there as so many variables, I am sure there are also very many different results...however admittedly, I really do have a bias for the Weatherby round..not a big fan of the guns...but like some of their rounds..
