Shoot very tight groups with 117 grain Federal Premium ammo, but haven't shot anything bigger than a whitetail with it.

Personally, I like the 257 Rob. That being said, I like the whole family with the parent case (6mm Rem, 257 Rob, 7x57). As said above, dead is dead and it's hard to argue with results. Ballistically speaking, the 25-06 is a rather inefficient round by today's standards but will still kill just as dead as any newer chambering.

It sort of got a bad name because Remington loaded its factory ammo to low pressure out of safety concerns for the rifles around at the time.
I don't have any concerns about performance of a standard .257 Bob case in the hands of a capable reloader.

Ballistic, reloadbility ( in relation to materials), accuracy?
Thanks

From his site:
Once again, I, Mike Bellm, do not “make” barrels, and I personally do not deal in TC factory made barrels. I only customize existing barrels, either those I have from Bergara, a barrel you buy from me or Kurt, or a barrel you send to me.
I won't speak for him, but I bet he won't re-chamber a barrel in either of those two cartridges. You can ask. My money is on him turning you down for those two.
All the best,
Glenn

Originally posted by Winman View PostI'm assuming you have the TC Encore....if so, how about the 6.5 Creedmore. I just read a review on the cartridge and in TC offering it for the encore. The ballistics and all were quite impressive to me...so much so that I think I'm going to add one to my safe tomorrow....Academy has the new TC Compass for $274 with a $75 rebate...can't beat that..
I'm also thinking about that Compass. Just over $200 (after rebate) for a bolt action. I know it's not a high end rifle. But for $200... I just may test one out.
All the best,
Glenn
