The one in question is a 280 AI parent case, but the shoulder pushed even further forward and widened a tad at the shoulder line. You can also use a 270 win case.
Then there is a 25 Sherman Short, which is a SAUM case shortened and the shoulder straightened to 30° (and not an official Sherman...
Allen,
It's a 280/270 case blown out to have a 40 shoulder, but wider and pushed forward a tad.
Here's a 270 sherman which is the same case, but necked up:
I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That being said, I love my FA Intellidropper. It works very well and I love that it "learns" what powder you're using to properly meter it.
I'd bet you that we'll see an ABLR or AB come out in a heavier weight in .257 fairly soon as well. Can't all just be match bullets filling up the heavies.
Even before we first interacted on this forum, it was always such a breath of fresh air seeing the 25-06 get some love from you on Ultimate Reloader. If you did a fast twist, you’d be a staple in the 25 revolution 😎
Randy,
I had a Mark II VT in 25-06 that, even without bedding, was easily a 1/4" gun with factory ammo. I'd not worry about the bad reports, as you're much more likely to post about a bad experience than a good one. There are countless MkIIs that have shot amazingly that you never hear about...
I have some once fired 30-06 brass that’s just sitting around doing nothing. Some necks have dings from hitting the ground.
34 pieces of RP
48 pieces of Winchester
82 pieces total
I’d like to sell it all together. 40 bucks shipped
That's still some great velocity with a 140 out of a 22" barrel. Good job, Howie.
When I got my stash of H100V, I couldn't find Staball anywhere. I suppose it'd work well in my case as well.
