wondering about the 25 WSM wildcat

[Bigbear]

I was wondering if anyone has built a 25 WSM or knows where I could find info on this caliber. (I am not talking about the 25wssm)

should be similar to the 264 win mag

25 Wsm

How would it be similar to a 264 win mag. More like a 257 wby

 

[prosper]

Right, that .007" makes all the difference in the world

Right, that .007" makes all the difference in the world

...........well if i was to draw comparisons it would be with a .25 cal at least.

I was close to building one on a M70 but went 25-06AI at the last minute. Still, I'd like to try one. That and or a 264WSM.

There was an article on the .25 wsm in the january/february Rifleshooter of 2006.Hope this helps.

It's ballistically a 25/06, but since it's shorter it's better.

I have a few friends who built them, at the same time i did my 6.5WSM ( when the shortmags first arrived on the scene).
This cartridge is a screamer, no doubt about it.
Performance with the right twist will be up thhere with the big belted magnums.
I can post some ballistics tonight.
