Default RE: caliber pronunciation (25-06)

Welcome to the board Camp_13 The 25-06 is pronounced that way. It's the same case as the 30-06 but necked down to 25 caliber.If you called it the ought6 I'm sure people would think you are talking about the 30-06.The 35 Whelan uses a 30-06 case also. It's expanded to .35 caliber. The 7mm 08 is a necked down 308 case to hold the .284 bullet.Join on in! You'll learn allot of this board.
