[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 24027, member: 34"] JerryM Don't ever "doubt" the claims of the Gibbs line of cartridges until you own one and load for it at max. I have two 30 Gibbs, a 25 Gibbs and a 6.5 Gibbs. Just sold another 6.5 Gibbs to a fellow here on the forum. With 30" barrels the 30 Gibbs and 190 gr bullets are right there with the 300 Win Mag with 190s. The 6.5 is right there with a 264 Mag both with 140 gr bullets. The 25 Gibbs is right there with the 257 Weatherby. Ray Romain has all the Gibbs reamers and we use the 270 case as the base instead of the 30/06 case. It gives a .050" longer neck and a great cartridge to shoot. It has the 35 degree shoulder which works very well. You don't have to go to some of the smaller mags when you have a Gibbs Gun. Good brass is available also. Norma makes 270 brass which is ideal for the 6.5 and 25 Gibbs. Have had several Gibbs guns ovcer the years and like them alot. Jerry Teo Send me an Email and I'll give you some loads for the 30 Gibbs. Mine really likes the 168 and 190 gr SMK bullets. The 190 gr load gets to 1000 yds in a hell of a hurry.
