Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters John Wooters & .25 Copperhead

I too was influenced by Wooters article. I built a 25-204 in 2004, it pushes 100 gr NBT's at 2800 fps and is almost a clone of the 257 Kimber with no fireforming and I can buy 85gr cast bullets bulk. Gary Reeder I believe has brought it out as the 257 Raptor, it is too long for the L-416 or CZ 527.

25-204 first outing 2005



I also shoot a 6x45 out of a Rem 600

I really got lucky and picked up a L-416 very cheap unseen thinking the worst that could happen is the barrel is toast and it would become a 25 Copperhead, it will have to wait until I wear out this barrel as it shoots just fine.
