So it appears the barrel on my 25-06 has seen better days. Its gone from shooting ½” groups to shooting 3” groups. I need to have it boroscoped to verify my suspensions of the throat being eroded…
Thant being said, what caliber of rebarrel should I do? I inherited my grandfathers .257 Ackley and I have a 30-06 so I’m thinking of going away from .25-06. I am an avid hand loader so factory availability isn't a concern
My potential cartridges:
6.5-06
280 Ackley
6.5-284
The only reason that 7mm-08 isnt on that list is I have plans to buy one of the Howa barreled actions and build up a rifle in the future. 6.5 creedmoor is out because of the long action...
So anyones thoughts are appreciated. Pro, cons, experiences…..
Thanks guys!
