[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 857588, member: 12282"] My 25-06 has a subjective recoil that I and any number of my shooting buddies feel rivals many larger guns -- there is something about the rapidity that it pops. I know, by the numbers its supposed to be milder, but I cannot at all agree that its has "very little recoil". But the real problem is bullet availability for long range work -- in .257 they are just not out there -- and are not likely to happen in large scale, since typical 25-06s are twisted slow, such that any bullet over 120 will tumble. And no one out side of the very boutique bullet makers is going to make a bullet that cannot be used in any gun except a custom. No -- 25-06 is not for me.... If someone loves 25-06, I will shortly have about 400 rounds of brass for sale! The AI offerings (there is a 6.5x55 AI or BJ or something like that) are interesting, and I realize that you can use standard brass. But I just hate going that esoteric when both the 260 and 6.5x55 in standard form are really good cartridges for a light or standard weight gun. If the AI makes sense for either of them, its actually the 6.5x55 where it makes the most sense.... But dies and reamers would be custom.... [/QUOTE]
