Just a shoutout to see what ya'll got for .25-06 loads and experience. I am picking up a HOWA 1500 barreled action in that tomorrow from my FFL and will be bedding it in a laminate bench rest/varmint/tactical style stock. I wanted a 6.5x55, but they don't have any manufactured and the guy suggested the .25-06 which seems to be a super fricking ctg!!! Can't wait to touch it off!! I have a ton of .30-06 brass available to convert. A friend suggested necking with 270 die first then 25 cal to ease into it. I have fireformed and such before, but never necked down quite that much. Neck thickness can be an issue I suspect.
