The .25-06 is considered an "underbored" caliber. It is one of the calibers that really benefits from a longer barrel. Not only with increased velocity but with shooting comfort. You'll get a whole lot less muzzle blast with the longer barrel. It really starts to come into its own when you go up to something over 24".
