    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    I had a similar "itch" recently. I added a 257 Weatherby Magnum just two weeks ago. I have had it out on several occasions. I am beyond impressed with the laser-like trajectory and highly manageable recoil. My order of .257 92-grain Hammer bullets has arrived, and I am looking forward to...
