    It has nothing to do with BC.... Very few shooters need worry about BC... Even a longranger need not worry about BC until 500m or more.... Sure if you shoot shit far out, and stuff all of use actually do....

    Lack of popularity of the .25cal in my mind has stuff all to do with its longrange characteristics or available pills... it has more to do with it being overshadowed by other cals.... .270 has shit BCs but is if not "the" most popular cal in NZ.... You have to remember the current LR fad has only been round a few years hunting and calibres has been around much longer....

    So really to ascertain why it isnt a really popular calibre we have to look at all and every hunting style as a whole....
    Not a BC inducing fad involving a small percentage of us, .270 proves that....
    FRST and takbok like this.
