H Holmes Well-Known Member Joined Feb 26, 2002 Messages 172 Location Wyoming, USA Feb 26, 2004 #3 Correct. That is indeed the 25 Souper. A neat cartridge really that failed to catch on given the publicity and writeups accorded the 243 and the 6mm during that time frame. Performance is not far behind the 25/06. Load data is available in Art Alphin's, "Any Shot You Want." Email me if you need data. <[email protected]> Cheers. [ 02-26-2004: Message edited by: Holmes ]
