Just make sure your neck thickness don't get to to thick. I would go for the 264 before the 7mm. Shouldn't be an issue with factory rifles. I've shot a few groups with 7mm brass out of a Ultra Lightweight and there didn't seam to be any pressure issues. Not enough to comment on if it was any...

I noticed one box of 25 cal. GMX at Bass Pro a month or so ago and I would have swore it was 110 grain. I got Sinclair catalog the other day, just checked and it lists 110 grain GMXs. Hornady just up and changes it. Glad I didn't waste $200 in load development. I'd be pretty mad. I don't...

My 358 STA. Shot coyotes to Moose, 225s to 300s through it. A few different scopes. It just fits. It's a Remington, SSDM rebarreled to the 358. Decelerator pad installed, trigger done quite light and that's about it. No bedding and it will shoot sub MOA groups. As I said it just fits.

Better make it a little less close. I'm thinking he'd catch you. :lol: I seen a grizz about that size once. Talk about impressive. The size of a VW Bug.

Now what they will do with slower cartridges at longer ranges a lot of guys are shooting. Even at the higher velocities it isn't the DRT stuff. The antelope did but.... Buck ran 50 yards maybe the doe kind of run ten feet stopped turned ran another ten feet. I think she did this three times...

Three animals killed with TTXSs this year. My antelope 200 yards plus. In through the shoulder out through the neck. All kinds of bone smashed. 120 grain out of my 6.5/375 Ruger. We all know they penetrate and that just confirms it. Two white tails shot with my son-in-law's 257 Weatherby and...

Glad to hear it worked out Scotty. Still 12" groups. You are just going to have to re look at those loads. It isn't adding up. Something you were resting it on. Something under the barrel in the barrel channel??? Good thing you tried a box of factory ammo. And what ever was the problem worked...

An area where I do a lot of mule deer hunting seams to have two pools of genes. One and the preferred have great double forks, maybe one fork not quite as well developed as the other three but... The other pool is producing some of the biggest three by three you will ever see. If their are...

I had them mail me their catalog about a month ago. Doesn't seam to work much better than their other powders in most cases. Maybe less temperature sensitive than their other stuff???

Scotty I second the thought on the IMR 4831 even RL22 has worked well for me in the past. Have you heard of anyone's results using RL17? I'd be curious if it works well with the 25-06s. I'd like to suggest using magnum primers. Pet Loads had suggested it I believe, that was all I ever used. Jim

sask boy I've scored a couple of large muleys and I'm betting he score more than 180. Maybe coming close to the 190 mark. Those forks look very deep. Photos are sometimes hard to guesstimate from but.... all the same a great deer. They all are.

I don't think it is so much the brass used as it's the method that was the problem. The only brass I have ever used and I'm talking maybe 15 Years is 375 H&H. In the past I've fire formed it with a little bullseye and corn meal. It has only been the last couple of years I've tried...

I'm sure I had made the comment that I've been fire forming cases with full throttle load weights. On the low side but nonetheless .... Well I ran out of N165 (Vihtavuori), I was using just to get rid of it and decided to use IMR4350 for the last two loads. I'm using 375 H&H brass with 300 grain...

OldMan a 75 grain charge of RL25 chronied out of my Winchester with a 26" barrel at 2870s. ReTumbo is an other powder worth trying.

POP What dies do you have that seat off the ogive? I own Fosters, RCBS and Reddding. Your right only one that is seating off the ogive is truly accurate. All I can do is tinker the die with the first three or four loads and just start loading the rest.

I think the reason I get into issues I can't explain is I have had a lot of rifles that you find the load and it will always shoot that load. Example my Remington 700 BDL. a thousand years old. 180 grain Partitions Protected points. Same load year after year. 1" groups. My 358 STA is the same...

Pull three loads and charge weighs are within .1 grains on three loads pulled. Scrubbed the rifle a lot. I shot three rounds. A little better, 1 1/4" group. Adjusted the scope for center of the three shot group. One shot and center 1 3/4' high. Adjust again. 2 1/4" high and dead center. Now...

Sorry Rick I'm just not fallowing your thinking here. How would headspace manifest it's self in pressure issues. And brass that's been fire a lot.... hardening?? I'm thinking it may just be the Sciroccos. The Tika may not be able to deal with the harder bullet as well as the older, fired a...

Well I'll have time today so the first thing I'm going to do is pull the bullets and check charge weights. The weather has been pretty much the same for the last few days so that wouldn't be high on my could be list. But hell who knows.

As I said we use to be one grain of powder difference in the loads. Five years ago. Something has changed????? I did the loading for both. Jim
