    Out of idle curiosity I have had a trawl on line of the 25 high B.C. wildcat speculation as @caberslash mentioned.

    Certainly interesting
    But @Tentman you are already running 6mm and 6.5mm bolt guns which should do exactly the same task

    Why not go back to your roots Foster and do a 25 cal single shot ?
    This is one time I would advocate for the Ruger no1 and an old fashioned 25-06 with a nice new fast twist SS barrel.

    With a modern strong single shot action cartridge over all length will never be an issue.
    A 25-06 chamber reamer with a long throat should be around ( I will ask my contacts ).
    Brass and dies will never be an issue
    Just find a donor Ruger no1.

    Then you don't have to reinvent the wheel
