I ordered 100pcs of Norma from Midway yesterday so I'm going to give it try. It is pricey but hopefully I shouldn't need anymore for a while. Thank You for the feedback!, I do appreciate it. Mike

I've been trying to locate some 25.06 brass for months with no luck and it appears that it's going to be a while before any becomes available. I really wanted to try Nosler but it appears to have vanished from the face of the earth. The only 25.06 brass that i can find available right now is...

I like Ronco and have 2 of them. They came with 5 trays but I ordered extra trays and now have 7 on both. They don't have a fan only convection heat but they work great for jerky and also drying fruits.

I've killed countless deer in the past with the 125-130gr bullets from the 30.06. I've used Hornady 130gr SP, Barnes 130gr TSX and the Sierra 125gr PH. I never got around to trying the 125gr BT in my 30.06 but I have no doubt that it would be very effective on deer. I purchased a 25.06 and the...

I've been looking around the last few days reading various articles on the correct breathing techniques while shooting. I know that everyone has their own style when shooting and I know that there are other variables that come into to play at the shot. I read where some believe that you should...

Thanks Dr. Mike! I would love to try Retumbo but no one around here locally has any. I have plenty of RL22 so I figured I'd give that a try first and if I'm not satisfied with it i'll try others that I have on hand. I may be able to get my hands on some Retumbo at the next local gun show that...

I want to load some of these bullets for my 25.06 CDL but i don't see RL22 listed as one of the powders used in the nosler chart for this bullet. Could someone please give me a min and max charge for RL22 and the 115gr BT? Thank You!

Good read!, thanks for sharing.

Nice shooting!, should be a fine deer bullet. I don't currently shoot any Hornady bullets but I killed countless deer here in NC with the 30.06 and the plain jane Hornady 130gr SP. I only recovered one bullet out of all the deer that I harvested with that bullet and it was lodged in the skin on...

Thanks for the imput I do appreciate it.

Does anyone here have any hands on hunting experience with the Sierra Gameking HP? Sierra's claim is that it's a tough bullet made for hunting but just looking around i don't see many reviews on them anywhere. I did see the one in the bullet test section where the 120gr .257 came apart on the...

Very nice shooting!, and a good looking rifle too.

I had some of the 120gr .257 DC's that I purchased when they first came out. I worked up a load with them and they shot well but I never harvested any game with them. As I recall I either sold or traded them to someone here on the forums but I can't remember as it's been a while. It was my...

I use it in my daughters Rem 700 .260 with Sierra 120gr PH's. It shoots very well in her rifle.

Nothing like early season preparation, it's almost as fun as the hunt especially if you make it a family affair. My kids and I have been setting up a couple ground blinds and loc-ons getting ready for bow season and really enjoy the time together. My wife doesn't hunt but she helps with all the...

I don't have much experience with Barnes bullets but I did use them briefly back in 07 with a rem 700 30.06. The bullet was a 130gr TSX and RL15. Accuracy was good and I harvested several deer with that load. I never shot it through the chrony so I don't have any ideal what the velocity was. My...

I've tried lots of different bullets in my 25.06 and have had excellent results with accuracy as well as on game performance with them all. Several of my favorites include the Speer 120gr HC, Nosler 110gr Accubond, 115gr BT and the Sierra 117gr PH. My favorite powder is RL22. You'll have no...

The smallest of the 9mm single stacks i've seen is the Diamondback DB9. My brother has one and loves it and it is very accurate for a small auto and has a good trigger as well. It's really small for a 9mm so it's a little snappy on the shot due to it's size which is to be expected. He claims...

I've had good results with a lot of different bore cleaners and still have several different brands in the cabinet but i find myself using Wipe-Out these days more than any other.

I've used the Sierra 117gr PH in my 25.06 on and off for years with great results as well as the Nosler 115gr BT. I've always wanted to try the 120gr HPBT but just never have. Having said that, I think over the years i've probably used the Speer 120gr Spitzer Hot-Cor more than any other bullet...
