Thank you for the help. Velocities similar between the two?
Which .25?

The 25 284 is like the 2506 you use 2506 loading data
The 2506 AI will help.with the heavy bullets

Understood. Thank you. How about box length and all with the longer bullets? Would they fit in a standard length magazine or would I need longer?

257 Ackley Improved with a 40 degree shoulder! I had one built on a Remington M-7 action and have found it to be one of the most accurate rifles I own!

I have had the opportunity to shoot my daughters 257 Weatherby mag and it's pretty sweet. Minding my P's and Q's I would be happy to use it on any animal in Montana.

I actually have a 257 WBY in a Remington 700 CDL stainless fluted that I bought new several years ago. I've not messed with it a whole lot, mainly because it's an absolutely beautiful gun the way it sits and I hate to mess that up. Plus, I don't remember what twist it is but I doubt it would be able to stabilize the longer bullets?

If you go about picking a new build based on GOOD brass, you can most certainly find the BEST!
Hunt for your dies, it will help on the decision. The very difficult situation we are in right now with supplies, tend to not be wild cat friendly. Standard dies can be found, others..not so much....take heed!
25/06 std is a very, very accurate cartridge, newer powders breathe new life into the 25/06..
For customs, I have the 257 Roberts AI, 25/06, and 257 Weatherby with .030 freebore. The 9T, Weatheby with 115g Bergers is awesome at 3600 fps shooting 3/8" groups.

What is the end result on say whitetail deer with that bullet and speed combo?
I have a 1:10 twist 25-06AI that pushes a 100gr Barnes tsx at 3550fps. I don't know how far you are trying to shoot but I regularly shot it to 800 when I was playing with it more. It kills deer and antelope like a lightening bolt.

Love my plain old off the shelf Browning A-Bolt .25-06 with the BOSS system.
98 gr Hammer Hunters with IMR 4832 SC @ 54 grains. Velocities are 2897, 2898, and 2926. The 92 gr Hammers shoot just as nicely with the BOSS set at 3.4.

25 SST or 25-284.

I do like odd calibers.
