250-06?

[lostart]

So....Ive got the 250 itch lately. Ive been considering AI or the basic cartridge. I do not reload yet so this is merely for educational purposes. Has anyone tried necking down a .270 case to recieve a .250? In my mind it sounds like fun. Or maybe an AI version would be better? Who knows? Not me! Maybe a waste of powder for the performance and maybe even a barrel burner, but I am just curious. Lemme know what you think!

25-06 DUH ::)

Please ignore my incoherent ramblings. Sometimes my active imagination operates seperately from my brain.

Caliber Overload! Take 2 very strong sleeping pills and call me in the morning...

LOL. Thats funny, I dont care who ya are!

And you were right about one thing....... Those are a fun caliber, and it can be used to hunt a vast range of animals...LOL

Any suggestions on a sleeping pill that will counteract two pots of Yuban?

Yes, this is a great idea.

Wonder if I can rechamber one of my 25-06 to a 250/270 ?

Would I have to set back the barrel ?

I am not sure about the barrel, but you will need a different bolt head ;D

Actually, the longer neck of a .270 case makes alot of sense.

Since you are nearly a century late on the 25-06, you might take a look at the 250 AI. Several of us on this site are playing with them and are getting 25-06 performance out of a short action round using 20% less powder. And besides that, they are just flat fun to play with.

Anybody around here build a 25-284 ??
Should be a real barrel burner.

[BrentWin]

My nephew has a 25-284 we are just starting to play with it. So far, I am not overly impressed. It seems to be very inefficiant, but only time will tell.

[tammons]

I would think a good start would be to look at some 25 WSM loads.
Somebody here has one I think.

I have a 257-300WSM. It's Bada$$ cool! !

25-06 AI is the next thing to the 257 weatherby.
25-06 AI will get 3920 fps with a 87 grain ballistic tip only 60 fps slower
than the 257 and 10 grains less powder.
Barrel burner ?????? mine lasted only 25 years.

257stw is where the big dogs play haha, or 257wsm

as for the question of setting the barrel back for the 270 case all you need to do is cut the throat deeper.
rechamber is not needed.

Does the 25-06 AI have any feeding problems from the magazine??????????????? I am thinking of building one but will use it for hunting so I need it to be reliable.
Thanks

my 25-06 AI was built on a 98 Mauser and I had no problems of any kind

I have had no trouble with mine feeding out of a staggered feed Savages in either 25-06 AI or 250 AI.

[snowgetter1]

I should have stated I have a new 111 centerfeed. Any experience with those??

Not me all my rifles have always been staggered
