Just my opinion, Go with the 25-06 for obvious reasons. 1, brass is less expensive 2, brass is easier to obtain and can make your own on 06 family cases. 3, In a pinch and you need to shoot factory ammo, 257W will give you sticker shock and make you soil your pants at the price. 4, If you...

Congratulations on your tag .Forget the Needmore and go with the any of the other 3. Bullet weights from 140 to what ever you determine is your limit. Good luck and good hunting.

For ease of loading and not having to fireform, excellent performance and accuracy, don't over look the 6.5-06. Just my opinion

Maybe I'm confused. What the hell do these blogs and opinions have to do with LONG RANGE HUNTING????

17 fireball, 223. Most bang for your buck. Forget the Needmore. Prarie dogs aren't that big.

Curious, what did you do to make your 340 more accurate? Just starting on 2 of them and the way they attach to the stock is not conducive for accuracy. Thanks

A 17 remington loaded with a 25 or 30 grain bullet is a death ray out to 500 yards. Pin hole going in. Doesn't come out. No pelt damage. Check out the ballistic tables, you will be surprised. Nice thing is,very low recoil. You can see your hits. Just my opinion and experience.

Your not married are you

And included would be a 6.5-06

Wish I had bought it

If you happen to consider a long action, 25 Gibbs is a very impressive chambering. Can't go wrong with a 257 Roberts IMPROVED either. Just my opinion. Love the quarter bores.

Gun people are our own worst enemy 😒. I've seen this cycle to many times in my life. When things get back to what ever normal is, anticipate honestly your needs for a years shooting and good back to normal buying . Seems to work for alot of people

35 years ago living in Wyoming on a cold winter night. My friends and I were sitting around the fireplace reminiscing about the great year of hunting. As usual, throw a couple of beers in the equation and the ideas seem to flow smoothly. I excused myself and returned to the think tank with a...

30 Gibbs gets my vote

For ease finding brass and flat out performance. Try considering the tried and true 6.5×55 swede. In modern long actions, this old timer loaded up to where it should be will make these NEW AND IMPROVED cartridges take a step back and pay attention to the old man on the block. With long actions...
