It all depends on what your doing with it.

The faster that bullet goes the less drop you will have. This is why speed is so important.

Roy Weatherby's favorite round was the .257 Weatherby Magnum because it was so versatile. Depending on what grain bullet you can hunt mice to moose. With a 75 grain bullet you talking over 4000 FPS. I just won one of these BTW, I'm still deciding on a scope so I have not tried her out yet. From what I have read though I think this will be my new favorite.

My current favorite is my Weatherby Vanguard Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. I shoot 150 grain bullets over 3000 FPS. Lots of speed and knockdown horsepower.

But like I said it all depends what your doing and what happens to be closest to you at the moment and making it work the best you can.

Like I dropped this 250 lb wild hog this afternoon at 220 yards using a AK Sporter 7.62 x 39. That's like my beater rifle, stays on the 4 wheeler pretty much all the time so it's there when you need it.
