So if the .25-06 is "overbore," what is my .257 Weatherby? "Over-Overbore?"
25-06
I'm interested in buying a 25-06 but i heard that they are barrel burners.

I don't see how either is, frankly. You can fill the case with the correct powder, and each is faster than the cartridges with lesser capacity, no?
It makes no more sense to call them overbore because they burn "more" powder, than to call my Roberts overbore, because it burns more powder and goes faster than the .250 Savage rifles I own....

My .250 Sav. burns more powder than a .25-35 Win, sends bullets out faster, and will wear the throat faster.
My Roberts burns more powder than my .250 Sav, sends bullets out faster, and will wear the throat faster.
The .25-06 burns more powder than my Roberts, sends bullets out faster, and will wear the throat faster.
My .257 Weatherby burns more powder than a.25-06, sends bullets out faster, and will wear the throat faster.
So?????
I'm not clear on why 2 of the 5 are "overbore" when the progression is what you would expect of such things?
