Drop the Boxer, and just get right in those shorts.

I'm reminded of the ol' town drunk, who wouldn't leave the tavern after the bartender had repeatedly warned him, "you've had too much, you're done". As the lush finally wobbled to the door, he'd sweep his arm back towards the crowd inside and bellow, "I'M DONE! I'VE HAD TOO MUCH", and then stumble on out into the night.

Have 4 25-06's love every one ;however, the heavy .243 bullets and the short action make it a better choice. Best choice is have several of both!

I'm not really arguing either way. Just saying that the .243 doesn't take a backseat to the .25-06, ballistically speaking, even though it costs less in powder, recoil, blast, bullet price, it fits in a short action, etc.

Bump that .243 to AI and get the 105's to 3250fps, and you're really laughing!

But my longest shot on an animal was 942 yards, and was taken with a .25-06 and 100gr MK, so I really have no complaints about the .25, either wink


Oh there's no flies on the .243 or the AI version of same. No doubt about that.

I'm with Menefee here.

My sister's 25/06 accounted for a nice pile of dead schit this year, but I'm cobbling together a 243 right now to shoot 105s. I can tell you right now which one will likely get shot more.

What is a .243 AI?
That is very good performance with a 25-06, a very lucky
shot in any case. You certainly weren't aiming but just a
lob. How much did you compensate? 3 ft?

Tanner,

Don't laugh, but I bought a Ruger American Rifle (9 twist) just to play with those bullets. 22" tube, but the mag box (on mine) measures 2.90". I've shot it with a couple other bullets and its a shooting machine. Should be fun.

We'll see how it turns out with the 105?


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

LOL. The crosshairs were right on the intended POI, if that helps.

I don't have the rifle or the dope chart anymore, but it would have been about 20MOA of drop, which is about 16 feet at that range.

No offense taken. Bullets are unpredictable at times. Most BST's I've used have been complete pass through's on Whitetails and hogs. This happened to be one that wasn't. Don't care though as it resulted in a dead deer. Fwiw, one of my lease partners whacked a big doe in the shoulder with a 130 TSX from his 270. Guess what? Bullet didn't exit.


Everybody knows a 270 is a terrible deer cartridge !! laugh

That shot is a story in itself.

As far as the AI, Ackley Improved, there is a long running
farce of a thread, with a record amount of posts on the Fire.

Now it seems the .243, has an AI, modification, but the 25.06 does not
need "Ackley".

"Just learn how to shoot your rifle". Now that should be the
next best slogan here on this site.

Anyway, thanks again for proving my original point with your diarrhea, errr, diatribe. Obviously reading comprehension isn't part of your Schtick!

In regard to the 240 Weatherby. Thanks for your recommendations and input, but I have no desire for custom dies, fire formed brass, etc.. I can afford Weatherby brass, so fu#k you! wink




'fan,

It's your Imagination,Pretend with it however it bests suits your Do Nothing Day Dreaming Dumbphucktitude. I getta kick outta you Texans,who are all hat and no Ranch! I bet your Spanish is fluenter than [bleep]. Laffin'!

Was purty angry all day,as I bumped some nice feesh like I do on the typical Cast & Blast...but I'd left my 1D3/17-40 in my crummy,forgot the G-12 at the house and didn't have a rifle or a knife either. Give or [bleep] take. I'll even letcha practice more of your Pretend,as you Imagine how to subtend. Laffin'!

Anywhoooo...I'm all ears on how the first poke of ANY brass,within ANY given chamber it has never been fired in prior(SAAMI or otherwise),is NOT a fireforming shot?!!? Your pointy boots and Mall Ninja belt buckle have quelled enough bloodflow,that you's now under the delusion that Wby Factory brass is a good place to be,which is of course funnier than [bleep]! Doubly hilarious in 240'by. Lookin' forward to your dissertation on headspace control,upon them initial fireform pokes,as that too will be funnier than [bleep]. I'd mention sumptin' about tossing that most foolish of [bleep] belts,drive a 6-06 of like capacity and drive a false shoulder in conjunction with a kiss...but the [bleep] sparks would be flyin' offa' your tinfoil hat. Laffin'!

As an aside,it weren't my intent to horn you up,but as per always...you'll wanna start things off by [bleep] yourself,mainly because you'll get more poozy that way.

I hope you believe in reincarnation,as it'd take you 15 lifetimes,to amass a first [bleep] clue.

Wow +P+.









starsky,

You ain't none too [bleep] bright either. Easy to keep SAAMI 243Win/105 900yd drift wellllllllllll shy of the dope you smoke.

It ain't not never a hoot,to let you simpleton dumbphucks flaunt your Imaginations.








'maniac,

You are far better suited like the two previous [bleep] idiots addressed prior,to be asking questions,rather than giving "answers".

Here's hopin' Stupid hurts.







Tejano,

The 25-06 is louder,burns more powder and recoils more.

None of which are a function of downrange boolisteaks.

Hint.








'25,

Why is it that you Do Nothing Dumbphucks are always in such a [bleep] haste,to cram things in your mouths and azzes?!!? Purse your pouty lip,shut the [bleep] up,take notes and apply same...if only because it will help your game.

Though admittedly,it do crack me the [bleep] up,when you [bleep] idiots refrain refreshment,after having been led to water.

Lookin' forward to your next whine.







'smoker,

I hear good things about Rugers and 105's.

Hint.(grin)







farmboy,

You just might be the dumbest [bleep] yet and that ain't no small feat.

Congratulations?!!?

May as well fuel your Imagination too...beings it's all any of you dumbphuckers have got.

Heck man, I guarantee it'll stabilize the 105s, and if it does, you've got yourself the perfect truck rig. A 2.9" box does not suck at all either!

Tanner,

Keep in mind that mag confines are but a single facet. Throating has to jive with same,in order to ring the bell.

Ruger do nice things in that regard,as per their 243Win offerings.




'smoker,

In a SAAMI 243Win I'm most often in '22 Mode,though '17 rates a thunk. I've long looked to sidestep '19,but do gun it in a few applications separate thus far from the crux here.

At that time McMillan declined to inlet A5's for 77's,though that tune has obviously changed.






archie,

Don't be too hard on the gals,as they are simply doing the best they can,with what incredibly [bleep] little they have to work with. Things only make sense,to them who have sense...which is of course a right reliable recipe for hilarity. One gets to readily discern them who've a clue,from them that don't. Imagination and Pretend will never bear much fruit,but it IS [bleep] funny!

Tell one of them pointy headed dumbphucks that there's a new cartridge being unveiled,that will fall shy of 30-06 downrange boolisteaks and uses a longer action,burns more powder,adds more recoil,costs more to boot and is harder on barrels in the process and the whining [bleep] would scream like gut shot cats. Poke the shoe on the other foot and the ignorant dumbphucks champion the notion. Funny schit!

People crack me the [bleep] up.






'texas,

Hilarious that you are powerless to refrain a Whine,though I see you's a bit gun shy in the particulars associated things germane the crux.

You were really doing "well' there for a spell.

Laffin'!






Mako',

It's your Imagination,Pretend with it as you please.

Mebbe do a pointy boot stomp on your hat,hold your breath and you'll feel better about your incredible dumbphucktitude.

If only it were that easy for you,to get the cure.

Laffin'!

Pathetic that you are powerless to refrain from playing your childish game of insulting everyone. Pitiful little man...
