Does anyone here like quarter-bores?

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.

@SteveNZ
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.

@F. Vaccaro
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.
 
Thanks @Bob Nelson 35Whelen

Steve you didn't tell me what 120gn speer so I went with the 120gn ssp catalogue no 1411

By the looks of things the 120gn speer really loves ADI 2213sc/H4831/H4831SC
Hopefully this helps you Steve
Bob

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
