Hey Shooter to late now, but if me and you would of had a little chit chat, we would have made that barrel cry uncle and fix it non cooperating attitude, LOL if you are once bittin twice shy a 10 twist 25-06 will do everything you want it to do, Quarterbores ya baby
that's happening, I have two an 06 and a 257 Weatherby both in twelve twist, but like I said a 10 twist will meet or exceed your expectations. on the same note jamming bullets into the lands will often cause pressure signs, even way below max loads, I load everything 100 thou off and no that's not a typo.
