[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1790532, member: 86754"] My "first" 25-06 was simply a Model 700 Classic .257 Roberts reamed to the Ackley Improved! ha I just wanted something "different". I could seat out the old Hornady 120HP and I pushed it hard with IMR4350. Sold it. Later in life I bought a 700 Classic in 25-06, used the Sierra 117 sbt on a mule deer doe, then had the rifle converted to 257 Wby. I killed my first "long range for me" animal with it. ( Blackbuck right at 375yds) Held dead on with +2" 115PT. Outfitter wanted it, bought it from me. I then got my old 257AI Back (15yrs later) my friend had cut its 24" barrel off to 21" and I just had a 24 25-06 take off barrel put on it. It too shot the 117 SBT very well. Later used another 257Wby /100TSX on exotics, sold it too. Long story short, I never kept either cartridge around but between them, a 24" 25-06 (especially with todays new powders) makes the 257Wby kind of redundant, at lest to me. Its a sweetheart. [/QUOTE]
