[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 881001, member: 13833"] It's true that the 25 doesn't have a great # of good bullets, but when you compare apples to apples, and stay with the 120 vs 130, here is what you get. (from 1st addition Berger manual) 25-06, 115 VLD .466 G7 b.c. mv 3148' (this is only 115 so 117-120 is higher) 270W 130 VLD .452 G7 b.c. mv one load of 3184 but all the rest right on par with the '06. (the '06 has 2 inches more barrel so the top 270 load would be a little over 3200' with a 26") Pretty much a wash although another 5 grs. (120) in the 25 would have a higher b.c. but slightly less velocity. As far as a 130 gr. 270 improving on the shape over a 120 gr. 257, it doesnt hold up. That is why given the same bullet design, the 257 has a higher S.D. and thus a higher b.c. I agree that the options with a 270 are much greater with bullet selection and weights which is a definite advantage in a hunting rifle......Rich [/QUOTE]
