Righto, give me some basis for your opinion, not something your wife heard from her hairdresser that heard it from a girl who's boyfriend heard it from a bloke who talked to a bloke who read it on...

Bitecha bum, open your popcorn, and wait for later.

You made a definitive statement, I'll come back to you tonight.

Showing off how much you don't know.

Load the 25/06 properly and you can get .257 Wby mag book velocity, you really gain 150-200 fps at most, if, you know how to get it in the first place - been there/done that, prefer 25/06, feel like...

.257 Roberts in a modern action would be nice too.

For god's sake sell it to someone who will love it as a 25/06! - get something else to bastardize!

In no particular order:
Rem 700 24" 1/10 AR2225
Mk5 Wby - 24" Krieger - 1/10 twist . AR2217. IMR7828
Rem 700 24"Trueflight - 1/10 twist AR2217.

Hey nor-west he ( Tussock ) is not looking for informed response, rather is dangling bait..... don't feed that particular Troll. The other protagonist in this end of the thread is just misguided and...

It was a 100 grain Partition that Roy Weatherby used to kill his Cape Buff, that, is about as big a test as there is for any bullet/cartridge combination.

A 25/303 imp would be interesting.

You put up about this vs that, so prove your argument: what is your claim is based on, name the data you used. Unless of course it's just fairy dust........I'm patient, will give you time to go look...

Perhaps you would like to share your actual practical experience with killing animals with a 2506, rather than cherry picked numbers from the internet to suit your given position. A typical load for...

So over a lifetime of shooting bigger animals with a 25/06, it has only been an occasional thing for you to have to shoot twice, but that has always been the fault of the cartridge? that doesn't ever...

I've been roaming the hills,mountains and valleys shooting animals of varying descriptions for about 40yrs now, I'll bet no matter how many animals I've shot, and assessed the suitability of a...

Have looked at this and it really is a great deal.

My last long term 25/06 was driving 115 VLD (G1 .483) at 3200 with a case full of 2217. Killed like lightning. The various 25/06's I've had tended to kill faster/more decisively than 6.5...

It's contagious, you catch it from .270 owners..........

That only applies to the sometimes painfully slow factory loads, (the Hornady Superformance 117 SST load may be an exception) to a handloader with experience and a proper length barrel, it is easy...
