Shoot, didn't realize how old that post was. Sorry.

I am looking for a 25-06 barrel to replace my 270 barrel on my Remington 700. I might be interested in yours when you take it off or maybe you want to just trade guns? Or barrels?

The guy at Sierra said for conventional bullet weights, 130 to 150, you could start with the 270 short mag data on the low side and work your way up. He said the cases were so similar that that would be safe. I have yet to try it but I think I will. Starting low and work my way up. Good luck.

Hi Michael, I'm from Idaho which does not make me an expert. But I've hunted elk a lot and killed elk with 243s up to 300 Weatherby's. Yardages from 150 out to about 450. The fastest thing that I've seen dropping elk was just my plain old 30 ought 6 with 180 grain round nose or spire point...

I'm waiting on my rifle from Cabella's and have searched high and low for info. I called Sierra and they told me they were using Hogedon data. I had looked there every day and now there it was. Seemed conservative but was there. Hogedon website.
