new to the board

[wm.f. in fla.]

i'm new to this board. i have been reading it for a while. there is some good information from time to time. i'm a quarter-bore lover. i've not seen much on the 250/3000. are there any of you out there? i also shoot a savaga 110fp in 25/06. i reload almost everything from 243 to 378wby. however, i haven't gotten into the short and super short mags as yet. i'm looking forward to spending some time here.

wm.f. in fla.,

I've been a BIG fan of the quarter bore from the time I got my first one as a teenager, a Savage M99 in .250-3000.  Still got that one.  I now own rifles in .25 caliber from .25-20(Win. M92), .25-35(Win. M94), .250-3000(two, Savage M99 and a Rem. M721), .257 Roberts(converted M1891 Mauser), .25-06(two, Ruger M77V and a Rem. M700) and .257 Weatherby Magnum(Deluxe).  The one thing all quarter bores have in common is their accuracy.  Even .25-20 in the M92 Win. is a lot more accurate than it's bigger brother the .32-20 in the same rifle.  With the talk of Winchester bringing out a .257 WSM it's looks like my collection of quarter bores will continue to grow.  Lawdog
