[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1459661, member: 12995"] How does a longer cartridge require "a more expensive rifle"??? Never heard that one before... And actually, if done right, you can get lots of reloads on your .25-06 brass. Sure, factory ammo options have diminished over the decades, because the weapons cabal decided to try to nix the .25-06 from existence, and they ****-near did it in the commercial market. Now that companies like Blackjack are making heavy high-BC LR bullets for the 1/4-bores, and awesome barrel companies like Bartlein, Krieger, Lilja, Rock Creek, etc... are making proper modern-twist barrels, there will be a huge up-swing in .257 popularity. And also, the windage abilities of the 6.5CM are not THAT much better than the .308 Win, when you compare equal weight-for-caliber bullets. Comparing a 140 grain 6.5 to a 168 grain .308 is like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda Civic... The heavier 180-215 grain .308 caliber bullets will close that gap to nearly non-existent. [/QUOTE]
