Thread: 25/06 to 6.5/06 What Barrel?

Other peoples experiences will be different but none of mine shot real well and it was always a "fight" to get "advertised" velocities. The last one I went all out and used a Kreiger cut rifled barrel (to be fair on a Mauser 98 action, which can be difficult to get to shoot really well) and it was both slow and never shot worth a damn. Much later I set the barrel back and fitted it out as a 6.5 CM on a different action and it shot beautifully. Dies $60 if you want them.
