[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2553920, member: 69192"] I’m not certain about forming 25-06 brass from 06s, but based on the 06 as the parent cartridge it has to be possible?? Just as this component drought started, I loaded up on 400, 30-06 cases so I could feed my .270 AI, 06, and 35 Whelen. And I guess in a real pinch could trim down and size the 06s to feed the .307 WInchester and .358 WInchester as well. As for building a .25 caliber, long range rifle to shoot the heavy weight bullets, I strongly recommend a 26 inch, fast twist barrel. I believe that barrel length is necessary to get all the velocity out of the over bore cartridges. Some will say that 26 inch barrel is too long for hunting, I haven’t found that to be true. I have rifles that I hunt with, some have the original 22 inch factory barrels, and some have 26 inch barrels, I cannot really notice any difference in them for long range hunting. I will say that one year while deer hunting I ended up hunting in some dense woods and wished I was hunting with something other than that rifle with the 26 inch barrel though. [/QUOTE]
