Feb 19, 2021 · Personally, I have used the .25 WSSM but I have used the 25.06 and the .257 Wby Mag and if the .25 WSSM is in their range great, but... I have used the .243 WSSM for both hunting and LR 1k matches, and it was a dream, it did everything I asked it to do with performance left over.

Nov 26, 2023 · New member here, but I was hoping to get some insight on bullet selection for high speed .257 cartridges ( 257 Wtby, 25-06 or 25 WSSM). I bought a used 25 WSSM last year in a Browning A-Bolt II and I love the rifle. I bought what bullets I could find in stores and several brands of used bullets from and estate sale. I settled on loading Barnes ...

Dec 9, 2009 · I just picked up a Winchester Mod70 25WSSM Coyote, 24" stainless, 1-10 T. Looking to shoot the 120"s or 123 grain pills, I want one load for coyote, deer. Any suggestions on powder and starting charge weight, currently I am cleaning out some nasty carbon/copper from the old owners clean...

Oct 17, 2013 · I thought I read that you can resize any wssm cartridge to 25wssm. Does that mean that I can resize the 270wssm to the 25wssm or the 243 wssm to the 25 wssm? If this is possible which is the best way to go. I currently have a 270 wssm also, so if this can be down sized [ neck ] to fit the 25 it would be easier on me.

Jan 31, 2003 · I don't have any experience with the 25WSSM but i do with the 223WSSM and the 243WSSM.I also have 4 25-06's and one 25-06 Ackley improved with a 12 twist Krieger barrel and a 0.285 neck.The reamer the factory ses in the 243 WSSM puts the heavy bullets way back into the case.If you were going to have a rifle built in 25 WSSM i would recommend picking the …

Feb 4, 2007 · They should have started with the 25 and gone UP from there. I love the idea of a 26 wssm. A friend of mine improved it and gets 6.5x55 swede ballistics with less powder and it shoots scary, little groups. I have worked on one 25 wssm thus far and found that while it would get into the mid range 25-06 speeds, it shot much better about 100 fps ...

Jun 26, 2004 · To me, the .25 WSSM looks like a .25/06 that uses the efficiency of the short, wide case advantage to provide .25/06 ballstics with less powder. This should mean slightly less recoil and slightly longer barrel life. I have read about this cartridge a little.

Sep 18, 2019 · I keep thinking about a 6.5 PRC necked down to .25 cal and using that same bullet. It would bring the velocity back up with the bigger case and using the heavier bullet. I can't help but think that the .25 WSSM would drop me too far below that 2900-3000 fps I like with the quarter bore. Just my thoughts is all.

Dec 13, 2008 · This version of the 6.5 WSSM is based off the 25 WSSM case so the Redding 25 WSSM bushing die can be used with 6.5MM bushings to size the cases. (I already had the dies from the 25 WSSM barrel.) The necks on the Winchester WSSM cases are really thick from the factory so I always turn them and then anneal them before using them.

Jan 18, 2011 · You are correct that the 25 Pronghorn is right there beside the 257 Weatherby. It may be even better. That being said. There is a lot of confusion between the WSM and WSSM but a world of difference in capacity, size, and performance shooting the same bullet!
