[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1221951, member: 12995"] Well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... So...Build away. :cool: I do suggest a 26" barrel for the .25-06 AI. The longer barrel will give you a slightly more compete burn, plus a small bump in MV. Now back to the OP... My results of comparing the .25-06 AI side-by-side with my .257 Wby, the velocities were within 100fps, an animal will never know the difference. But the .25-06 AI is so much nicer to shoot. I'm not a recoil-sensitive person at all, and never have been. But I will say, after comparing them, the .257 seemed a bit overly dramatic (more powder, more recoil, more muzzle blast, more expensive brass and ammo) to reach nearly the same results as the .25-06 AI. I used to feel the opposite way, but having owned both, I realized I was wrong about the .25-06. Also, I've never been a big fan of the regular .25-06 because of the very low shoulder angle, same reason I've never cared for the regular .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg. But I like the improved versions of those cartridges a lot. People can get mad all they want, and .257 Wby supporters can argue all they want, but the numbers don't lie. I never said one cartridge was any better than another, they are both good cartridges. I just said that raw-data shows the .25-06 AI as a much more efficient designed cartridge, being that it uses 10-15 grains less powder to reach within 100 fps. [/QUOTE]
