Maybe Bob needs a switch barrel high wall - 25-'06 and 35-'06. Cover all the bases.

@Nevada Mike
Mate if I had something like that it wold be more fun than I could handle.
YES with a set up like that I would be one happy Vegemite.
Are you offering me one at a reasonable price are you.
That would excite me almost as much as a bottle of Viagra.

What do you think of the 25 Souper (25/08), have you ever chronoed it
Bob

Hi Bob

I love it, with a decent measure of AR2209 it is not far behind the 25-06 (having a 24 inch barrel does help)!
I have only used 100gn projectiles so far, still have to work up a load with the 117-120 gns.

Steve I will have a look at load from a disc and work out some loads for you with 117grain SST and nosler balistic tip and pm you.
Any other projectiles you use.

Mate you should have kept it and bought the Ruger. You would have have 2 rifles that would cover ALL your hunting needs worldwide.
Bob.

Bob, that was back in 87 & money was short, I really wanted a .375 & #1s are a rifle I really like. The .375 is marvelous on Elk. Grizzlys inhabite most of where I hunt so a .375 is a good choice.

I have found Nosler Accubonds to be very good, accurate bullets. The .257 110 grain Accubond is, to me, the best hunting bullet in a 257 Roberts or 25-'06.
