A 25 WSM would be nice. Really no need for it though, as it wouldn't be much different than the 270 WSM.

They have a 25WSSM, I dont know if that interests you...

Yes I know about that one. I like the full size case better. a 25 WSM should perform about the same as a 257 Weatherby I believe.

Not quite.


Can you elaborate on that? I'm just curious. If I was looking for a new rifle for long range shooting with minimal recoil, I think I'd be looking pretty hard at the 270 WSM. I don't think a 25 WSM would provide any advantage, other than even less recoil. But it sure seems like a 25 WSM should be capable of matching 257 Weatherby velocities.

7mm WSM, .270 Bullet selection and available weights suck for the true long range game but then again the definition of " Long Range" covers a wide spectrum between shooters. :chuckle:

Yep, nothing wrong with the 7mm WSM either. I shoot a standard 270 Win and don't feel like I need anything more. If I ever do, in actuality I would probably want to go with something more along the lines of the 7mm Rem Ultra Mag.

I want a 30-30 ultra mag. Yes I do know that is so ridiculous it doesn't make any sense. Especially after I whine about a bruise from my 30-30 as it is.

Someone needs to pick up klaus' mach5 project. A 50bmg necked to 375 sending a bronze solid over 5,000fps. Too bad he died.

My buddy shoots the 130 grain x bullets in his 300 weatherby, he shot his deer with it this year at 250 yards and before the recoil even hit that deer dropped like a sack of rocks.

I'm with Bobcat... I LOVE all the different calibers...but I've been shooting an 06' for 27 yrs now and have yet to run into anything it doesn't do a great job of. PDogs to Elk...

I do love my dad 270 Weatherby though...

correct me if i am wrong , the ackley-i 25 will shoot a 25-06 shell, so is the reverse possible?  will a 25-06 gun shoot a  improved ackley 25 shell.?  i dont know what the big deal is and at what extra cost?  no diff till you get out to 400-500 yards. mike w
