   The first rifle I bought myself was a 25-06 about 20yrs back. Back then most 25-06 factory ammo outperformed 243 ammo. The rifle I took the most game with from doves, a lot of springbuck, range of...

   They work bloody well, one of the cartridges that has to be seen to be believed, rather than reading paper ballistics. Mate here has killed hundreds of sika with the humble 100gr nosler BT's.

   Well, the one thing it does have going for it is projectile availability... Have a look at the Gunworks website, it is just about the only caliber where all the options are still available. Even...

   Sell both and get a Z5 3-18 - happy medium as it'll do short and long range, with some money left over for your next hunting trip!

   The powder that gives the most velocity in a long barrel will also likely give the most velocity in a short barrel.

    Hermitage liked post by Pommy On thread : Myth? - shorter barrel = use faster powder?

    Here's my understanding (essay warning): As you subject the powder to more pressure and more heat, it burns more thoroughly/cleanly/completely. Smokeless powder essentially creates its own...
