25-06 Brass

[Hrsmn51]

Is the 25-06 brass prone to stretching any more than another cartridge case of similar design?
I am considering rebarreling a shot out 30/06 to a 25/06 suggestions or issues one should consider.
Thanks

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
