The 25-06 is a favorite and seems to have that mojo. Glad I got an odd length 25" barrel on mine. I am looking forward to trying some of the Hammer bullets. My rifles 1-9 twist won't handle the heaviest ones unfortunately. If they had been around when I ordered the barrel I would have gone 1-7 or 1-7.5 at least.

The 117 Hornaday's are doing well with R26 so I have not experimented too much with other bullets yet.
