The 25-06 and 257wby still excel at flinging .400bc 100 grainers at high velocity with modest recoil. Still a useful tool for many.
the first centerfire rifle i ever shot (13? yrs old) was a 257wby Mark V custom (Sauer & Sons?)... punching out door locks in car body's on the scrap pile at 100+... great fun for a kid, and recoil was tolerable... i've inherited the leftover brass, dies and bullets... if i run across the "Right" 257 or 25-06, i'm buying it!...
