I also have a 257wsm built by Christensen Arms. It is a great caliber. I'm getting 3650fps with 100gr triple x's. The gun shoots great and was deadly on Antelope this year and I am heading to MT. Tommorow for deer with it. I would recommend the caliber in a heartbeat.
Good luck on your hunt, Are you hunting the 2nd rifle season? I have the 3rd rifle deer tag. I was in there a couple of weeks ago. Unit looks good. When you get back I would love to talk to you to see what you saw. Good luck
I am looking for a starting point in Montana for elk. I would like to stay in the cenyral part of the state and am willing to pay a tresspass fee. I will be self guided. Does antone have any advice on where to start. Thanks
The Block management program is a good deal. It takes a little work but can be worth it. Depending on what region you hunt in there can be a lot of land availiable.
