On a long action, I'd do a 6.5 Swede myself or 6.5x55AI variant. I think that one is generally overlooked but, as an Intermediate cartridge, you get more case capacity along with room for longer higher BC bullets without a lot of fuss.

Score! 🙂

Local to you. Check PM's in a few minutes.

SFP, not FFP?

I'll take them for $45.

Seems like things are all over the place at the moment with these 25 wildcats. Is there a good table or list of starting cases, action lengths, and bolts needed, along with water capacity? For myself, it seems like the PRC is the one to go with since the WSM and RSAUM are falling off in...

The 25-7PRC is the one tempting me at the moment from Texas Ordinance but, the 25-6.5PRC is no slouch either.

Yes, some of it is staying with a balanced cartridge versus a massively overbored one. Regarding rebarreling my 257 Weatherby, if do that I also need to ask myself if I am better off with non-Weatherby case/brass to begin with. Regarding wildcatting Weatherby brass, that is something I want to...

Really helpful. Thanks!

I have a 257 Weatherby bolt action so, I'm wondering about a light wildcat that will do this level of performance without much effort and will allow me to tune it up a bit. Originally, 257 Weatherby was a good choice because I could get ~$40/box ammunition for general usage if I didn't have...

N-Vision Nox-35 or N-Vision Halo-X35? The title and text are ambiguous. ;) Do you have the box, accessories, and literature?

https://www.americanprecisionarms.com/collections/muzzle-brakes Brakes from here are well regarded and are used a lot with PRS-style rifles and some of the custom hunting rifles I have seen. There are other well thought out options that would serve this poster's 'dream/graduation' rifle well...

Tikka 6.5x55 SE options

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM is interesting but, I think recoil might be a problem for the shooter in question. The 6.5x55AI would be my choice for this sort of application due to its ease of feeding and support. For accuracy-obsessed loads, the EU has a lot to offer a shooter as well since it used...
