Hi
Don't have 25-06 reamer, but I have a 257 weatherby which I feel is superior.
Thanks

While I agree with you, and own a 257 weatherby with a 26" barrel. There are a few reason to own a 25-06, no need to be over board with most game, feeding a 06 cartridge is easier then a 375hh in most rifles, the bolt face size, already owning dies/shell holders, and it's a lot of extra powder for very minimal velocity.

When I bought my 257 weatherby mag I was stoked, but after reading about the 25-06 I was kinda disappointed, the 25-06 is almost there with a lot less.

Granted I still have my 257, it's not as hot as I thought in the beginning

Feeding from a standard bolt head size is a bonus in versatility for sure. Not that it matters in hunting distances so much, but the 257 is a flaaaat shooting bullet for distance.
Cheers
