[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 3099693, member: 122313"] Why 22"? You have multiple options in this "ball park". 25x6.5prc 25x6.5prcSI 25sst 25x7prc 25SS 25Max 25 sherman 25-06AI The ONLY advantage I see in a 25x6.5prc is lapua brass. Everything else I listed has more case capacity than the 6.5prc case if I remember correctly. I think that 80gr of H2o capacity is the upper limit as far as efficiency goes in a .257" bore. And thats with a full size barrel of 26". Start chopping the barrel down and efficiency goes with it. I'm a "gain per grain" guy! I'd rather tote a folding stock chassis than neuter an overbore wildcat with a 18-22" barrel. Again that's my preference and opinion. I would look into the 25sst and 25SS also. The 25sst has head stamped ADG brass. The 25SS will outrun the 25x6.5prc OR run the same speed at lower pressure. I'm at the coin toss part of building a 25max or 6.5max for west Texas whitetails, coyotes and hogs. I like head stamped brass so that's THE detractor to the 25max right now. [/QUOTE]
