[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2634542, member: 122313"] I assume this thread is based on factory available rifles chambered in factory available ammo. If that is the scenario then in my opinion all of the 06' based cartridges except for the 280ai need a "revamp". Out of the 3 brands of rifles I prefer "bergara, howa, tikka" not one offers a 25-06 in a decent package anymore. It seems as if the long action standard bolt face cartridges are out and short fat magnums are in. The limiting factor is now just twist rate. The high BC bullets are there and so are the powders to push them. An 8tw 270 with a 160+ and some RL26 behind it would be a monster. A standard 25-06 with a 7tw and a 130 is a Texas whitetail deer hunters dream. Now if we could get an ammo manufacturer to load them and a rifle company to make them is a totally different story. Most of us have bypassed all of that by building and rolling our own. [/QUOTE]
