[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 2511104, member: 95235"] I have not had trouble picking up .257 bullets, but I am a little south of you so... If you already have your elk/larger game setups the 25-06 seems like the obvious answer. -One thought on the AIs- if you can get what you need for the initial setup, brass life will be longer so you will not need to restock as frequently and you can still shoot factory 25-06 ammo in a pinch. -3000 fps in with the 133 is very conservative, just a thought if you are comparing ballistics -You said recoil is not a concern, but why take on more when it is not necessary, you have bigger cartridges for that work. -High BC has been the trend for 15-20 years now. I think we will only see more heavy for caliber selections in all calibers if the supply chain ever normalizes -the only negative I can see is barrel life if this is going to be a higher volume rifle and you are concerned about having to source a new barrel where you live.
