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

The 2506 is an interesting cartridge, it doesnt kill as quickly as a 270 with a poor hit but it is so easy and pleasant to shoot accurately you dont get poor hits. It is like a 243 but with the failings / faults fixed

gee, you're a hard man @Moa Hunter. They've fixed the 243 well up with higher bc bullets and fast twist barrels
