Quite a bit better numbers there charlie brown, puts it right with the .243. So whats the difference. To claim the .243 inferior is quite rediculous, dont you think.
Now we all know about hand loading but if your gonna compare handloads you gots do it in both calibers, then the 24 will outshine it once again.
You cant dismiss the 24 to the 25. when in fact its right there or better than some.
factory loaded its better than the 250 or the bob. Handloaded it still will outshine them. put a bad load in the 25-06 and a good one in the 24 and it will outshine that one too.
Its just as good or better than a lot of deer calibers. Thats all I'm saying.
