Thatd work slick I think. Have a bullet in mind?

25 cal would definitely be 135 bergers or 133s. Idk what length you'd end up at with a 6.5mm 144 or so

Only problem is 8mm bullet selection sucks.

If there was like a 270g 325 hybrid I'd be all over it!
.300 WSM with 215 Berger is your easy button. The .300 WSM thrives with >3.00" COAL. I propel the 215 Berger out of 24" at 2850 FPS. With 26"+ barrel, you're golden. Good luck!

That's been the obvious choice for me, I've already got the 215s, just need barrel and brass/dies. Would probably go 28-30" barrel

300 WSM Long Action Build - Input Welcomed
Fantastic thread ! The timing could not be more perfect, I am also on the long anction 300 WSM kick and have two Tikka T3's I'm going to turn to the dark side ! I made a cutaway case not too long ago and modeled some bullets to determine the optimum seating depth I would use, turns out my...
Yep, that would do it! What twist rate are you planning to get?

I'm not sure if you're asking me or the general public?
If it was me for a general around cartridge I'd have to say 308 for a custom well that's entirely up to the owner.
I'm basing my choice off of the ability to reload and what the milliary and police use as a long range load. So that would include the .300 win mag.
I'm more conservative when it comes to want vs. need. I'll take available components vs Gucci every single time.
But that comes from Grandpa and grandma that had to live thru WW2 in Germany. So my experience may be completely different than yours

Probablyba 9 twist. Maybe 8 if it's what I find when I actually start looking
I should have done a reply to Jake, my apology Sir.
1:8" would be "my" preference.
