[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1217982, member: 12995"] Agreed... You have to shoot one to really appreciate it. The recoil is so mild, but that 115 is spitting out the end at 3,300-3400 from a 26" barrel. You shoot a watermelon at 100 yards with a .25-06 AI using a Berger 115's and it turns into a chunk-flying red mist. I shot a full bottle of water once at 100 yards with my .257 Wby with 110 NAB's (almost 3,500 fps MV), and it hit so hard you could hear the THUMP! when the bullet hit the water bottle over the report of the shot being fired, as it turned into mist. Water went 50+ feet in all directions. Imagine that being a deer's vitals. If you've never witnessed it, try it yourself. If you've never been a fan of the 1/4-bores, give the .25-06 AI a shot...You'll be hooked. Brass forming is easy, and you can use cheap .270 Win brass (which is what I use). Form up 100 cases, and you'll be set for a good while, depending on how hot you run your loads, of course. [/QUOTE]
