338Rules,
Great job digging this one back. Had some great PM’s w Steve quite a while back. Hope he is well.
Not sure of JB’s take on the 25-06….. but I’m sure it will be well thought out.
As for me it’s a fav of my good friend Paul. He has his dads with a custom barrel. His dad built it for a Western goat hunt and it did well. But that thing has piled up the Eastern Whitetails!!! The grandkids use it and the term lightning bolt has been mentioned a time or two. (These are New England distance so no real baring on a longer Western hunt, but darn nice freezer filling every year)
I like the Roberts being from the North East, but respect the 25-06 quite a bit.


I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
