Saw some talk about the 257 JDJ so thought I’ld post my experience with it or should i say my sons experience! Thinks it was 2012 my daughter said Dad can i go deer hunting with you? Music to my ears!!!! I had a 14 inch Contender barrel so I thought why not a carbine barrel in 257 JDJ. Found a used 17 in Encore barrel and purchased it. Bobby shared his load and it been a hemmer. Daughter and i hinted one day and late afternoon a doe hop fence onto our property. I said shoot it! She said its too small! I said easier to drag! I said shoot! She said too small! I said it will be tasty!!! I dont think she could pull the trigger but we had a great day being together.

When Brandon started hunting he claimed the 257JDJ and shot 7 deer in 5 years on our WV property!!! We added up the deer he’s shot with it and came up with 15.
I thought it was really cool last year Brandon took his college roommate deer hunting and Cory shot his first deer with the 257.

257 scored two deer last year. Brandon shot this buck on the second day of WV’s deer season

First deer Brandon shot age 12 and he shot another deer same year that was a 150 yd shot!
