hi i am a new member and i do load ,reload ,shoot , hunt with small bore rifles . in the family for deer season most of us use a 25 caliber bullet . so is 25 Caliber bullet considered small bore ? Grandson last fall 2025 did shoot a big doe with my 220 Swift in my custom Ruger #1 that has a 10 twist ,26 inch Brux barrel . Swede53

Swede, not sure if the .25 cal qualifies as small bore, but who cares?
Welcome to the forum, and feel free to post away about your .25's anytime you want. Hey, it's smaller than a .30 cal, right?

Rick , well some of my 25 cartridges are fast, like i used 100 gr. bullets at a speed of 3,800 FPS in our 257 Weatherby mags. , 257 Roberts shoot a 75 gr. bullet at 3,600 . they will shoot much faster if i needed them too with lighter bullets and or with more powder but the groups open up then too. but i do shoot different 17 centerfire cartridges , 204 , many different centerfire 22 cartridges , few different 6 cartridges too.
