you need to look closely at the 257 weatherby loading data this is what you have created with the AI.
although P O said you really cannot improve anything under 277. but today with the slower powders like h 1000 and r 25 imr 7828 you will get a bit over the 25/06 but forget any slower burning rate powders. you are overbored.. you will have to adjust you load down a bit for powder capacity but you will get the same vel a the weatherby.

Error above on my line I meant the faster burning rate powders will not give you good results like R 17 19 4350 even r-22 and H 4831 may be a bit fast. especially with 115 and 120 125 gr bullets.
Funny I should stumble on this post. I just sent a rifle out 7 weeks ago to be built in 25-06 AI 40*. 1:7 twist! 131 Ace BJ's and Hammers 130 (I think)
So I can not leave good enough alone. In searching of a NICE figured #1 a friend decided to sell me this one. One of the nicest #1 I ever saw. Also has a sub 3 lbs Moyers trigger.
Anyway I jumped on it. It started life as a 270 Win and he re-chambered it to 270 Bee.
So I decided to rebarrel it.
Here it is:
