[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 316819, member: 2736"] The answer is "NO" The 2506 is a great round but not capable of 4000 ft/sec much less 6000 ft/sec !!!!!! There is not enough case capacity and there are no bullets that will stand that velocity in .25 cal without coming apart. The really hot .22 cal cartriges can reach 4400 + but not without some bullet problems. The best advice would be to ignore him and and ask someone on this web site like you did. Being long range shooters Most of these guys get more velocity than any other group because velocity helps at extreme distance and use Looooong barrels to boot. Years ago Roy Weatherby tested a cartridge based on a 378 case with a 70 gr bullet to 5700+ ft/sec to see if it was practical and (And it wasn't).The 378 case has over twice the case capacity of the 2506 so you can see the folly in this statement. Enough said J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
