[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3904520, member: 51836"] It's not a matter of who offers ammo, its the types of ammo available and the fact that you effectively have about three bullet weight options that limits the versatility of the cartridge . If you can get along with that sort of availability in lack of selection its a fine cartridge. Much like the 270 is limited by the fact there are 3 or four bullet weights ( I am not talking about the new long high bc 6.8 bullets mind you ) . What I just mentioned is why the 30 cal has reigned supreme for all these decades , lots of options in bullet weights and construction . Yeah the 25 is sorta obsolete or at least obsolescent and became so when the 6mm calibers showed up on the market in the 1950's more bullet choices and velocities right up there with the 25's 25-06 is far from a best seller for rifle or ammo makers [/QUOTE]
