[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2629591, member: 21641"] I have to agree with most others, in that you are talking about turning one of the flatest shooting rifles ever into a "lesser magnum" with 25-06 performance that burns an immense load of powder. Why do this when you could opt for a cartridge optimized for that length barrel that would be much cheaper to shoot? Then there is the issue of muzzle blast. Even in a hunting situation you would need to wear sound-deadening ear muffs to keep from blowing out your ears. Let me offer a solution, we could talk about swapping my .25-06 for your .257 Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
