Not sure about the 25-06, Ive never had one, this barrel was chambered in AI right away. Like others mentioned ive never had the itch for a ROY...just a lot more powder for a bit more speed in my opinion..I guess we can say the same thing about the AI over the parent case...its just one of things that I wanted, and If I want to shoot 25-06 rem that I can just go ahead and do that.

I have a 9" twist Broughton barrel on this rig and I have Marshall from Matrix bullets that will try and cook up a long VLD bullet for me this winter (time allowing) Something in the 135-145 gr. Range, Maybe stretch the legs on this one next summer. I already have his 125gr. bullet that I havent had time to develop a load for yet.
