I use this same recipe. 69.5 g of RL22 gives me 5/8" groups at 3480 FPS out of once fired factory WBY brass and Fed 215 match primers. The cost of Weatherby factory ammo is the reason I started reloading too.
I've never loaded for this round before. A friend of mine has a Win 94 carbine chambered in .44 Rem Mag. He wants to shoot the 225 g FTX Hornady bullet out of Hornady brass. What powders should I look to first? Thank you in advance!
WOW! Thanks for sharing. I remember what it was like the last time I packed meat in the mountains (2013) like it was yesterday. Your experience makes those memories more vivid. Thanks again for sharing!
The only thing better than a 25-06 in a vanguard is a .257 WBY. Just more of a good thing (y)
If you want to avoid buying another gun you may want to seek help in a different forum bud :wink:
I've never hunted NY. I visited my aunt and uncle a couple times, 25 yrs ago, and remember it being scenic but I don't think it can be mentioned in the same breath as the one time I was in Alaska to hunt. Given a choice I would need a SERIOUS promotion to even consider moving from Alaska to NY...
Congrats you upgraded immensely from a $600 gun to a priceless heirloom. I'm sure you will all cherish that remarkable gift for a very long time. Very cool.
Glad you had a good time chasing swamp donkey's. I really enjoyed the blueberries when I was moose hunting a couple years ago. Hopefully you punch your tag and share the experience with the rest of us.
