I would turn it into a custom .25-06 AI 40º with a 1:7" twist heavy barrel. Set it up to shoot the new Blackjack 131 ACE bullets. They have better BC's than 6.5mm 140gr bullets.My friend is looking to sell his 25-06 he says it isn'doesn't shoot very good it's a Browning i think, what could I turn it into?
Yes, but will they have better BC's than the 156gr Berger?I would turn it into a custom .25-06 AI 40º with a 1:7" twist heavy barrel. Set it up to shoot the new Blackjack 131 ACE bullets. They have better BC's than 6.5mm 140gr bullets.
Or, option #2, a .280 Sherman.
Let's not forget the 147 eld or the 150 smk.......Yes, but will they have better BC's than the 156gr Berger?
That's yet to be seen...Nobody knows the BC's for the 156 Elite Hunter yet...They're still testing them. But the Blackjack .257 131 ACE has a .330 G7 BC...Yes, but will they have better BC's than the 156gr Berger?
The 147 eld has a g7 of .352. The 150 smk is higher than that, but they only list a g1 which is .701That's yet to be seen...Nobody knows the BC's for the 156 Elite Hunter yet...They're still testing them. But the Blackjack .257 131 ACE has a .330 G7 BC...
Yes, but it took 16+ grains more bullet to achieve that small BC gain...The 147 eld has a g7 of .352. The 150 smk is higher than that, but they only list a g1 which is .701
It took 16+ more grains because it's a bigger bore...... that's like saying it takes 50+ grains for a 30 cal to match a 140-150class 6.5 I didnt say that a .330 g7 wasnt impressive. The difference between the 2 isn't that much. Literally a few minutes of elevation at 1000 yards and a couple clicks of wind. You'd never really notice the difference at that range.Yes, but it took 16+ grains more bullet to achieve that small BC gain...
6.5mm supporters will NEVER give the .257 caliber its due...And never have. That's why it's taken 60 years for someone to finally start making high-BC 1/4-bore bullets. The industry has been trying to suppress us for decades.
I'm well aware of the close ballistics, its just the same ole same ole...It took 16+ more grains because it's a bigger bore...... that's like saying it takes 50+ grains for a 30 cal to match a 140-150class 6.5 I didnt say that a .330 g7 wasnt impressive.

If you think that's gonna get me wound up your gonna have to try harder.I'm well aware of the close ballistics, its just the same ole same ole...
I cant wait till the .25 CM starts whooping the 6.5 CM's *** all up and down the range...
When you get that 25 cm built bring it up here to NH, It would make for a good time with shots out to 1400+I'm well aware of the close ballistics, its just the same ole same ole...
