It shoots the 8x56r round and at about 6 pounds and about as long as a Mini-14 it is one hell of a boom stick! But finding rounds for it is a beitch... It's impressive technology from only 30 years after the American Civil War.

It will be with me to the end. On the other end of the spectrum, I took my biggest deer, and several others, with a 6.5x55. Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable. Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death. Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

Rifle: .264 Win, .338 Win, 30-30AI, 7 TCU Handgun: .30 Herret, .357 Herret, .375 Win I have a 7-30 barrel in both pistol and rifle lengths and hope to add it to the list soon. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

You must be mistaken with a 257 bob. Actually 30% more than 25-06; a few bucks worth of powder in a season is insignificant to the cost of hunting. But; nothing wrong with a 25-06.
