[QUOTE="gr8whyt, post: 494770, member: 28526"] I'll play the devils advocate here. There are a couple of reasons you might want the 25-06 instead of the 257 Wby. Cheaper to shoot...Wby brass is damned expensive, and less powder per shot with the 25-06. Less recoil...not much, but some. No messing with the bolt face. With the barrel length being equal, you're really not giving up much velocity and the animal really is not gonna know the difference in impact energy. I had the same decision a while back. And like you I chose a Lilja #3 10 twist in 25 cal. And I struggled whether the .25-06 and .257 Wby. But I decided on the .25-06 but went with the .25-06 AI. Couldn't be happier. I kept the barrel as long as possible and it finished at just over 27". And now I'm not losing hardly any velocity at all. -- gr8whyt [/QUOTE]
