Richethec1: My advice - don't mess with a nearly perfect thing!
With todays modern powders and bullets I see NO need what so ever to go to that extreme and expense for modest gain. I know I wouldn't even consider doing an "A.I." job on either of 25/06 Rifles.
Best of luck to you with whichever you decide to do.
And welcome to the fire.

AI then....if you don't mind fiddly farting around.
As MuleDeer will be along shortly to point out...you don't gain much from AI on a 25-06. He is not wrong either.
But........stay calm and Loony on I say.

No point in it- - - -you can overpressure that big -06 case with any number of modern powders without blowing it out to a fractionally bigger volume. AI is a solution looking for a problem to solve these days. Back when the only powder available for reloading was military surplus stuff sold from a 20 pound keg in a paper bag, AI might have made sense. Now the concept is as obsolete as a chastity belt.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

I wouldn’t AI it.
Some gain on paper, but very unlikely you will see that gain in using the rifle.
If you want a fast .25 cartridge, get a 257 wby.

Wasn’t it P.O Ackley that said that in his experience and opinion the 25/06 was the ideal candidate to be AI’d? I recall reading that he thought it was the one that received the most benefit in performance from that modification.

It all depends on how much you mind trimming brass.

If you handload, everything should be AI if the case has any amount of significant taper.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Why not, what's the disadvantage?
