[QUOTE="travle, post: 3077896, member: 12368"] 25 cal. minimum wouldn't be really any better. a 25-06 bullet diameter is .257 and a .243 bullet diameter is .243. That's 14 thousands of an inch difference. Which would yield you only .007 thousands of an inch more width on any side. So take your .243 bullet and wrap 2 pieces of paper around it and you got your 25-06 bullet diameter. A .243 case is that of a .308 and 25-06 is that of a 30-06. The only big difference comes from the overall length being the 25-06 is roughly 3/4" longer and you can get a 15 grain bigger bullet in a 25-06. Everything else is pretty close. [/QUOTE]
