[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1083138, member: 12995"] You will get better barrel and throat life out of the .25-06, and the ammo will be significantly cheaper. Also, velocities will not be that far off. My .25-06 AI will run within 100 fps of what my .257 Wby did, but the .25-06 AI will do it with 14-15 grains less powder. The .25-06 also has a lot less recoil, a lot less muzzle blast, and is a smoother shooting caliber (not as snappy as the .257 Wby). Now, I am not hating on the .257 Wby... Just pointing out noticeable differences that I have noticed over the time-span of having both. If you read my last post, you will see that I am considering getting another .257 Wby, just because I have so much money tied up in components and factory ammo that are just sitting around. [/QUOTE]
