I to have used the .25 cal for many years in both 25/06 and 25/08 IMP but also only out to 500M, and yes the 06 is better off with a 24" barrel which is why I had the 25/08 made as I could get over 3000 fps with the 120 grn out of a 22" barrel with only 49 grns of powder.
Great cal but have now changed to the 6.5 and at this stage it doesn't do anything that the .25 couldn't do, so who knows maybe ill have another 25/08 soon.
