Really?....
No, I don't have much use for a wood/blue Brno 7x57.
I've already got a Remington Ti in .260 that would do the same job.
omfg you still think that a 25wsm is a factory offered cartridge. That's too bad. .......[edit]...

i had a remington sendero in 7mm saum, and found that when cycling after the first shot, the bolt would glide over the second round, not picking it.
upon testing with dummy rounds i found that the short, heavy case would tip downward at the rear of the case, causing the bolt to not catch it and scratching the case in the process.
i first tried building up the feed ramp at the back as it didn't support the case all the way back, the support stopped about 1/2" from the rear of the mag, i used jb weld and molded it into the shape of the feed ramp, but that didn't fix it.
i ended up adjusting (ie: bending) the mag box spring so that it would push more at the rear of the feed ramp and that fixed it.
i miss that rifle and wish i never sold it
it kicked like a baby, but that may have been the heavy barrel and stock absorbing the recoil as it didn't have a recoil pad, just one of those flat hard rubber 1/4" thick pads

Comparing a 7mm to a 260...Comparing a Brno to a Remington... This brutal Winter has been hard on us all but that's like putting a cooey against a Perazzi.

Time to wrap this up, men. Just a gut feeling. The end
Yeah, I agree. The Reminton Ti and .260 is a far superior hunting rig than a Brno and 7x57.

.............................[edit]........................ By chance are you a Remington Rep. ? Someone has to be. Remington has had nothing but bad press lately. Nice to see your loyal to a Company that all they seem to manufacture is crap. CZ/ Brono vs Remington not even a contest.

I'll have to store that one in the memory banks
, good one but you may have angered the Gods with that one.........[edit]........... Arent' you the guy that still believes that a 25WSM was a factory produced cartridge? Aren't you the guy that thought that the WSM's were fading away?
You ever hunted with a Remington Ti or a Brno rifle in steep, wet, thick coastal mountains?
I have used both and the Ti is far superior.

I don't like Mountains. They are to steep for me.
Remington has never made anything better than CZ/ Brno, give your head a shake.
And I would take a Brno in 7x57 ( or anything else) long before I would consider anything from Remington.
Please forgive me I like Metric Cartridges.

I kinda fall in with the wsm and 260 lovers here. I have a 300wsm and have not had 1 single issue with this cartridge, feeding/reloading/accuracy and dead right there performance. I also have a 260 and the same can be said there, accurate, easy to reload, and kills just as dead as the 300. The biggest differance between them is I have more faith in the killing ability of the 300 at longer distances (400+ yards).
