Per Norma brass - sometimes I see it sold as a "Norma's shooter pack." Is there anything different about a shooter's pack or is it just different packaging?
Well amazingly I do see a bit of brass available. I was thinking it was just new old stock but if Norma (and Hornady) are actually making runs of it maybe things aren't completely lost. 25-06 has never had great brass anyway
I, like many of you, am a 25-06 fan. But I have to wonder what it's future is. It seems to be one of the most neglected cartridges around. You cannot buy good brass for it - Lapua, ADG, Peterson, etc. never has and never will manufacture it. I believe there used to be Nosler brass but they took...
Turns out it may have been an out of spec chamber. It's a SAAMI chamber now. I would still appreciate if anyone could run my numbers in quick load it sure would be helpful for new brass and a short barrel
My fired brass is .345. With bullet seated, .342. A WW shell with bullet seated is .336, for comparison.
I wonder if I should just full length resize or use a lee neck collet die on the fresh brash. Some of these seat and feel like they have hardly any neck tension.
I just measured 6 shell's water capacity with RO water on my better scale and came up with an average of 81.3gr. Low - 81.2, high 81.5.
I measured a WIN case I had no problems with 64gr RL 17 and it had a water capacity of 82.4.
I would sure appreciate if someone could tell me what QuickLoad...
I am struggling a little with new ADG brass. I know it is thicker and has less capacity, so I did a ladder from Nosler book load for my 300 WSM of RL17, 180 NAB, REM 9/12M primer starting at 62. I made it to 63.2 and say pressure signs - ejector mark, heavier bolt lift. I saw a velocity...
not necessarily. and it's a small sample size, I've just seen it a few times, but it occurs. I just thought the "mini" groups might be a known anomaly, I'm in agreement with DrMike I should just ignore it and look at the whole group, which needs work ;)
These bullets are seated at .21 off of the lands, how am I all over the place on seating depth? Barnes will typically shoot well seated very deep. I guess my Accubond comment was unrelated, just trying to say it does shoot other bullets well at different depths, but that's a different bullet...
I would say just this rifle. I have a Tikka that consistently puts shots touching, but the groups are nicer. I did check the scope and action torque, thanks guys. The LRX, I can't seat any deeper, I'll be out of bearing surface. The TTSX I could go a bit deeper. I can't seat any closer than...
What would you say about consistently having groups of 2 shots grouping, but those groups not grouping together. Pictures to explain. One pic is 175 LRX, one is 180 TTSX, both at approximately same seating depth (deep). When I don't seat as deep the groups just open up. Could it be my scope...
