My Grandfather had a #1B in 25-06 that he used to shoot squirrels with! I remember that he had to do some fiddling with the fore arm and hanger before it would shoot, but after he got it dialed....that thing would shoot! 25-06 Ackley would be sweet and with some H1000 or RL26, I'm sure it would be a screamer. A .257 STW or .257- 7mm rem mag could be fun but are all probably pretty close to a .257 weatherby? A .257 Robert's or .257 Roberts Ackley Improved seems like it could fit the #1 style pretty well...

Is it a B, V or S?

.358 Norma or .358 STA sound adventurous!

 

[FOTIS]

1B

 

[1100 Remington Man]

As nice as it looks I would make it a Antelope Rifle in a Standard 25-06 Rem no Wildcat just a Classic.
I also would lean to more Standard twist rate Or close to it as even with all this long range talk most 99.9 % Of Big Game is still bagged at less than 500 yards.
What would be the perfect twist rate for Nosler’s 115Gr BT ?

 

[desertcj]

Did you decide on a chambering?

 

[FOTIS]

Yes it is a 25-06 AI 40* 1:7 twist

 

[desertcj]

That ought to be a screamer!

 

[FOTIS]

Got 128 gr Hammers and 131 Ace BJ bullets ready.

Will be loading some 75 gr v maxes with blue dot or unique for fireforming.

Those 128 Hammers should be something. Whew!

I am figuring about 3100 fps easy Scott.
I am thinking about mounting a Razor 3-15-42mm LHT HD on it.

 

[SJB358]

Dang Fotis. I dig that man. Those look mean and I’d bet anything over 3000 with that long devil will be seriously cool. I’ve always wanted a fast twist 257 rifle.

 

[FOTIS]

Scotty see here. This bullet is amazing. Steve just designed it.

6.5 Bee---123 ABSOLUTE Hammer at 3800???? I just ordered a box.

[desertcj]

What length barrel and contour did you go with Fotis?

 

[FOTIS]

26" standard 1B factory contour sir.

 

[desertcj]

Sounds good. Let us know the details when you get around to load development and shooting her...

Excellent!

This ought to be one heck of a mule deer, pronghorn, and even elk rifle!

When you're tired of it, please let me know.
