I know there has bee some discussion, but why isn't anyone using the 425 WR today? capt david  "It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer! | ||

its a great caliber, which hopefully will get the popularity it deserves. historically its over long barrel length was one of the main reasons in its lack in popularity. but the 410 grain bullet will flatten anything it hits!thats for sure! | |||

It has an extremely rebated case and the bore diameter is real odd so bullets and barrels are very thin on the ground. In short the weight of resistance greatly exceeds the weight of desire  Mike | |||

quote: The rim is so rebated as to cause misfeeds. Not good on a DGR! In addition, the neck is about twice as long as it needs to be, space better suited to holding powder (shoulder needs to be move forward.) Overall, NOT a particularly well-designed case compared with a good one like the .416 Rigby!! "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||
