The 25-308 is a gun that my wife's father built in the late 40s or early 50s. It has not had any attention in just about that long,,, since he died when she was 6 years old and that was in '58. My son in now 13 and "way into guns" so I decided to try and figure out what this thing was. I searched Google for 25 Souper and found Rocky's article, which led to this web sight. I thought it would be a good deer/coyote rifle for him and get me back into hunting. (That is the reason I was not up on the new calibers, the .338 RUM could be 20 years old and it would be new to me.)
So I got dies ordered, squeezed some .260 Remington brass, got in .257 bullets, yadi ya and developed a serious ailment called "way into guns". I am waiting for the 25 to get back from the smith, I had to have the Mauser action redrilled for new scope mounts, so I can start load development. I just hope the thing shoots straight!!!!
Been out a few time calling yotes and been in a goose blind for a couple days,,,,,,,,,,so I guess there is a new powder burner in town and his name in Martini.
Its fun reading you guys and have been learning alot and if you need a new kicking stump, me and my little 25 are here thumbing through the threads.
