around 30 grs more powder than a 25-06 for 300 extra fps,,thats 50% more powder for 10-12% more velocity..

Hi Blair,
Who did you get to build a 257 rum in Australia?
I was wondering who has the reamer?
What length barrel do you have?
What twist did you use?
What velocity can you get with 85 gns 100 gns etc?
Do you just neck 7mm rum brass down for the 257 rum ?
Thanks for your reply.
Regards.

short barrel life? Maybe, but the fun factor is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up there. I had a guy tell me my 257 Banshee (6.5x68S necked down to 257 and blown out) would only get half the barrel life of his 25-06. I sez "twenty trips up the high country shooting Rockchucks and $400 for a new barrel VS twenty awesome trips using $40 worth of gas per. If I wanted efficiency I'd sell the Dodge Diese
l and buy a Yugo...and take up archery so I could shoot the same arrow a thousand times...".
