Thread: The power of the 2506 AI

But it's kinda good the 25 is getting some attention and bullet makers are investing in developing new rounds to keep up with other calibers.

I find the 2506 very easy to hit things with. I could see the hit on the spiker but with a higher recoiling calibre I would not. With a 131 gr bullet the recoil will be up to much the same as a 270 with 130's - it will be slightly less because of a slightly lower powder charge at a guess.
High velocity makes the 25's with flat trajectory. The spiker was shot with a 110 AB. Hole straight through so why do I need to go heavier ?. What went wrong with the 400mtr Tahr out of interest @southernman ??
