[QUOTE="PanhandleGlocker, post: 3872004, member: 25311"] i have a set of reloading dies for sale in the classifieds but that’s not the reason why I'm asking the question, I’m genuinely curious if it’s still a popular cartridge or not. I remember when I was around 10 years old my dad was getting me and my brother deer rifles and he originally was going to get me a 25-06 but instead got a .308 for me and my brother a .270. At that time 25-06 was very popular (up in my neck of the woods at least) and I actually was wishing for the 25-06 because I remember looking at it in the store with him and I liked it a lot. Fast forward 4-5 years later and I borrowed a Browning A-Bolt chambered in 25-06 and got a deer with it. Very accurate rifle and caliber. Had full intentions of getting one after harvesting that deer and then I just never got around to it. I notice Savage, Winchester, Mossberg, Weatherby, and Browning still chamber rifles in 25-06. It does seem like you’d have to be set up to load for it, I remember a decade ago seeing ammo for it on the shelf but I don’t remember the last time I ever seen it for sale at a store. If I was to purchase a rifle and put these dies to use Is it still worth getting one or do the Creedmor calibers kind of make the 25-06 not as viable. What would the 25-06 offer that a 6mm or 6.5 Creedmor doesn’t? [/QUOTE]
