Today, 25-06, three boxes of brass and dies. Already have an 18" 256 Falcon for deer. Now need a 20" -22" braked thumper barrel in 30 to 45 caliber in one of Gary's cartridges and a second Encore frame. Looking for some decent 4x and 6x fixed power scopes for them too. I really prefer fixed to variable power for my rifles.

Nor my shoulders. Gonna look at the ballistics data and try to get some thing Gary makes with ballistics between 30-06 and 45/70 but with a brake

I bought it because the price was right. I had no intention of keeping the barrel. But I shot it and was impressed. Sierra 117s really knock a deer on it's ass. I've found it forgiving to load for. I passed up a great deal on a 257 Weatherby because I'm so impressed with the 25-06. When I find a bolt action I like in that caliber I'll have Gary trim the encore barrel back to pistol length.

I passed up on a Ruger #1A at the LGS because it was 257 Roberts and my 256 Falcon looks like it will have similar ballistics. As much as I used to love bolt actions I am thinking a couple of Encore frames with about 6 barrels should be adequate for anything I might ever do.
