[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 57314, member: 1290"] off the top of my head the 25-110 AB has a B.C. of .420 Hey Brian, I too can't say enough good things about the 25-06AI. My performance in the 24" barrel has been optimal. As for the 50-100 foot increase of the Weatherby. Usually that is from either not slow enough powder or too short of barrel or no freebore. With 100 grain partitions my buddy was over 3900 without pressure. 3700 is a good safe speed with 74 grains of IMR7828 in the 26" barreled Weatherby. The key is slower powder. So many people try to get there with RL-19,4350, RL-22 or IMR4831 and they will hit pressure way before they get much of a speed increase. RL25 is slower than 7828 and has shown promise. This weekend if the weather holds I will go see if I can't blow myself up trying to acheive a good safe 3700 out of that Accubond. I only use genuine Weatherby brass in my Weatherby's. It has much greater capacity than the Remington brass does. If the wind cooperates I would like to do some accuracy testing too. Last time out it was gusting 30+ mph and shooting in between gusts it was under 1 inch just blasting out the window of my rig. The 257 in a 26" barrel should put a good safe 200-300fps on any regular 24" 25-06. I know a gunsmith who does up custom Rugers in 257Wby with 30" barrels and his shop advertised load shoots 100 grain bullets at 4100fps. JoeCool should be along one of these days and he has about the most 257 Wby experience you will ever find. We are comparing notes on the Accubond whenever we get a decent day to shoot. We have had our bullets going on a month, just the weather has been to bad to do any real development. His Accumark has just a pinch looser chamber than mine. His does over 3600 real safe with the 110. Again he hasn't tested RL-25 yet either. I would love to get in on one of those Roo hunts. Is it possible for a tourist to bring their own rifle and go Roo hunting in Australia? [/QUOTE]
