[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 2470, member: 34"] BC Rebarrel with a longer barrel?? You can have the Sendaro 25/06 barrel (26") rechambered to the 25 Gibbs to see if you liked it unless your 25/06 barrel is shot out? I would go to a 30" barrel if I were you. The capacity of the 25 Gibbs is 7 to 9 grs More of powder over the 25/06 depending on the brass you use. For velocity comparison, check the Sierra loading book for the 257 Weatherby and that is the velocity you will be able to get with the Gibbs. Actually when I ran them hot with good actions, I could soundly beat the 257 Weatherby by 100 FPS (or more) in most cases and in my 30 to 34" barrels. I don't advise going that hot though. Excessive Speed kills accuracy and wears barrels very fast. later DC [/QUOTE]
