[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 406646, member: 12282"] I tried Tubbs before on a different gun. Did not help at all. I guess some folks have all the luck. I have a hard time beleiving that a few abrasive coated bullets will change what several hunded rounds have already done to my bore. I have came to the conclusion that I also don't really like 25-06 as a concept for me.... 25-06 was one of those hot varmint guns that could double as a deer rifle. Well, I have better varmint guns, and for long range deer, the various 6.5mm offerings serve me better I think. Lets face it -- 400-500 yard shots with a .25 caliber projectile are questionable -- even if I could get the accuracy I need. I have decided to rebarrel, true the receiver etc. I hope to get a fine looking, nostalgia sort of gun that I can work up a very accurate load with a minimum of effort and shoot it for my deer hunting for the next 30 years. With the number of rounds that I shoot at deer, even a throat burner like 6.5-06 or 6.5-284 should last for decades. Amortized over time, its worth the money so that I can stop fighting with the .25 [/QUOTE]
