But I already have a barrel, it owes me nothing at this point, $100 to have it turned down and fitted, and because it's not a Tikka barrel in the first place, it can be chambered in anything 7mm (or leave as is). No police order form to get, no courier hassle and cost.

Youd have to go creed more or something trendy then

Just leave it as 7mm08 and send the 162gr ELD-M.
Worked a treat in my 7mm08 until I rebarreled it to 7mm Creedwhore

7mm manbun is a thing? why, just why?

If you are keeping the .243 as your main hunting rifle and you can't get a buyer for the 25.06 then go 7/08, you can always advertise it later as a dual calibre rifle to suit all needs.

Keep the .25/06 . You love the .243 and this is just a wee bit more of good thing. Sell the 7/08 barrel or use to stake tomatoes.

No one wants to buy the barrel and the tomatoes the wife tries to grow all die, not good omens.

Only as a wildcat, doesn’t seem to have taken off, although looks like necking up brass is easy and can just use 6.5CM bushing dies with 7mm bushes.

Advantage over 7mm08 being slightly shorter case can be helpful if limited by mag length, shoulder angle being steeper means less case growth.
Basically the same as 260 vs 6.5 Creedmoor.

280 ai. Be good in the open country you hunt. Brass is easy enough to find. My 270's probably heading that way at some stage.

Wringing the absolute piss out of the 25.06 will have the same effect as a 22inch 257 weatherby.
