I love my .25-308, but in reality, there's no perceptible difference between it and a .243 Win or .250 Savage. It's just the teeniest shade behind the Bob (at least in my rifle) but even that velocity gap is meaningless. I know that martinbns's comment was tongue in cheek, but he's right - the .25-308 fills a gap so narrow it hardly lets light through.

I do think it's one of the world's easiest wildcats to create and/or load for. I prefer to neck down 7-08 brass because I had my rifle made years before there was a .260.

Still, if your heart yearns for a quarter bore, there's no cure but to have one, and the .25-308 is a sweet one to choose.
