[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1066166, member: 12995"] So why not build a poor man's .257 Wby..... .25-06 AI 40-degree shoulder. I have owned both, and shooting them side by side at the range with developed handloads, the .25-06 AI wins in every category, except velocity. And it only loses in that category by maybe 100 fps, at the most. Whatever you're shooting won't be noticing that 100 fps loss, as it will be dead before it hits the ground. :D I got rid of my .257 Wby, and had it from 2008 to late 2014. I built my .25-06 AI back in Feb 2014, and have absolutely fell head-over-heels for that caliber. I use cheap and abundant .270 Win. brass to form for it. Back when brass was hard to find, I found 200 once-fired Wichester .270 Win brass for $50 shipped to my door. And I still have 100 in the bag that haven't been touched. The .25-06 AI has been very good on brass life for me, considering the pressures I load in them. I highly recommend building one for varmints, coyotes, and deer. You will see what all the fuss is about. :D [/QUOTE]
