I just had a rifle built in this caliber and would like to know if anybody on here has any experience with this round. If so I'll take all the loading data I can get my hands on. I've already got some data but can always use more. Thanks in advance.

Re: 25/300WSM or 25 Pronghorn
What kind of barrel life do you get with this? .257" bore in a WSM case, sounds like a barrel burner.

But it's a hunting rifle so that will last a long time even if you shoot as much as I do. If you're worried about barrel life then you don't build rifles like this, you build 223's, 308's or 260's. I like the fast calibers so I just figure that's part of playing the game. They make barrels everyday!!
