[QUOTE="Double Dropper, post: 1840218, member: 92893"] Post is getting off track, you cant compare the 257 Bee with a stock twist, you need to look at the ballistics with a 1/8 twist barrel and 130 grain bullets. The high BC and 33-3400 fps from handloads with a custom barrel.....sorry the 25-06 or the improved version falls short. I cannot load 131 grain bullets out of my 25-06 in fact any ballistic 115 or more does not shoot well. I read a fantastic article on the 6.5 PRC last night but its just another cartridge that pumps out 140 grain bullets at 2950-3000 fps, it falls in the 6.5-06 category, oh ya wait I know my handloads are going 4000fps I get that your rifle is this fast and who knows how you deem "safe" for your loads, but in respect my shooting buddy hammers 140 grain bullets out of his 264 Win Mag @3300 with RETUMBO so here we have an ancient cartridge that still outperforms the latest flavor of the month.
