I currently own a 223, 243, 2x308's, 30-06 and a 7mm rem mag. I have an itch to buy a new big game rifle, thinking something fast and flat possibly a 257 weatherby mag the big down side is the cost of ammo as I don't hand load. Something good for speed goats and wide open mulies. I'm open to other suggestion.

Check out 25-06 ballistics .
Your point?...
I do lots of shooting just looking for something new.
Thanks everyone else for your suggestions, I've thought about the 25-06 but I think there's almost more factory loadings for the 257weatherby. But I'll have to look into it a little more closely.

Seems like you're a pretty established guy. Why not try some reloading??

My point was, you commented on the expense of ammo... you already have an excellent cartridge for your stated purposes... therefore, ammo and range time will probably put you further ahead than another new cartridge which you will have to feed... I was not suggesting that you can't shoot... I don't know you... the advice (which you asked for), was derived from the data you provided, although not specifically what you requested.
I was thinking the same thing...
Some factory ammo in some lighter bullet offerings and all.
Your good2go ...
Tight Groups,

Lighter bullets are flat shooting for short to medium ranges, heavy for caliber bullets will drop less and resist wind drift at long ranges.
Guys, he wants a new rifle, in a different caliber. We are supposed to be gun enthusiasts. Lol.
If i was in your shoes id get into reloading. Your pretty well set and its always nice saving a few bucks and having top quality reloads over factory rounds. Majority of the suggestions in here seem kind of redundant imo.
