25-06 Brass

I've not seen an issue with 25-06 brass stretching any more than the other calibers based on the 30-06 case. If I were to own another 25-06 I would neck down the 30-06 Lapua brass as I did in the past. It does require turning the necks to avoid chambering issues in most chambers.
I checked Starline’s site and 25-06 is one they don’t make.

Starline doesn't make it, but PPU does and in my experience PPU brass is "above average". Not as good as the premium stuff, but better than most of the "common" makers.
I use PPU 25-06 brass for my 6.5-06AI. It is consistent, forms well, anneals well, and sizes well.
I’ve had great luck with their brass in 22-250 also.
Here’s the 25-06.https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/77221
Do it and get rid of that clunky .30 cal. Bullet.
The 25-06 is so much fun to shoot..one of my favorites.
The 30-06 is a work horse, and the 25-06 it more of a thoroughbred, it just seems to do most things a little better. Not everything, but most.
I would almost consider a .25-06 AI . But then again nothing wrong with a classic 25-06. I do believe the shoulder angle, and neck of the 25-06 just seems out dated, by 2025 standards..
But hey im a guys who just came inside from shooting a 30-30..haha..
I shot out two 25-06 barrels in shoot-n days
The only thing i remember is hodgdon sold the same model powders at one time standard and a short cut my rifle love the short cut powder.
Remington primers, and any of the sierra bullets
If it helps ya sleep at night.
I blew out primer pocket way before my brass failed at the neck shoulder
You can always pick up some heavy military 30-06 brass and form 25-06 and turn necks a little to clean up the brass.
You will get 10 reloadings with that brass if you keep it annealed. And can push it hard
