25 Krag FL Imp...
Anybody shoot one? I got a Sukalle Borchardt in 25-35 Imp that has a little throat erosion. I found a 25 Krag FL Imp sizer die and am looking at it for a rechamber. Any thoughts? The barrel is not marked except AWSukalle and Phoenix, Arizona under it; so I'm not altering it externally.

I just built a 25 Ack Krag [IMP] on a High-Wall. Shoots right up there with the IMP Roberts or maybe with factory 25-06. Owner sure likes it. I would think [?] the Borchardt is as strong as the High Wall but ???? I never shot it but he sure likes it a lot. The reamer I have is an old one but cuts good chambers.

Had SB's in both 25KAI and 30/40 AI,
both were wonderful (and accurate) rifles.

Bohica,

no worries on the Borchardt. I have seen them chambered in 338-378 Wbee. If somebody built them today, they would be the best hammerless action out there, IMHO. Talk to me about renting that reamer...

I have a 25 303 Epps Improved which is pretty much a dead ringer except its on the 303 British case instead of the 3040. Performance is the same as the 257 Imp in equally strong actions .
