[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1841214, member: 26477"] I was digging through some of my safe Queens and found my old 25-06 AI. This rifle is needing a new barrel and I really don't need this caliber in my arsenal anymore as I have other calibers now that I feel are better for what I used it for. My question is could this action support a 28 Nosler build? Because the ballistics of the 28 are higher than the 7mm Remington Magnum I am thinking I might have to get a Magnum action to make a safe build. Perhaps some of you can advise me if this action would work safely or not. It does appear that the pressures are that much greater for the 28 Nosler vs 25-06AI. I believe the pressures of the 28 Nosler match the 7mmRM @ 65K lbs. and the pressure maximum of rounds I reloaded for my 25-06AI were around 58K lbs. To me this makes me question if this action is strong enough for the build. If not then I might stay with the 25 or change to a 6.5X.284. Because I have a 6.5PRC I am just duplicating what I own if I do it, however. Maybe you can suggest something else that might make me a more appealing build. Because I have a Macmillan stock and a Jewel trigger I want to be able to retrofit the stock as well. [/QUOTE]
