I only lube inside necks when necking up to larger caliber.

Left eye dominate, at an early learning age, Teach her to shoot left handed.

Find the best bullet you can imagine and build the rifle for it. You'll figure out the best cartridge somewhere down that road.

Yep, I use to tinker, but soon learned this one load for each rifle lesson!

I always like to do a "pre-ladder" test: Load 6 duplicates from min to max in even increments. Shoot all over chrony on same target at 100 yards. Mark each set of duplicates with a line connecting the 2 holes and Plot the average velocity vs powder charge.

Chris, Do you have or have access to a chronograph? .

That Rem M783 is a great example of why one "needs" to buy and try a lot of rifles! Some out-of-the-box Remington's I've had were unusually accurate. AND Ron, I'll bet that 783 will do even better fine testing/tuning the ammo.

Well... Really doubt that a 25-06 or a 6.5-06 would do anything my 270s can't do, but sometimes you just have to scratch an itch. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Just saw the thread. I was going to ask the same question, but you beat me to it. My favorite deer rifles are 270W. But have always had this returning urge to try a 25-06. Now, while I don't have much interest in a rifle that light, A 1:9 twist 25-06 always seems to spark an interest although...

Okay just checking my eyes. I had checked my oldest can of IMR-4350 and didn't see any signs of gold tint.

I notice a bit of gold tint on some of those kernels. Is that just the flash or lighting?

Yeah Guy, me too! My GS loves to go for walks in the woods with me. He's a protection dog, not a hunting dog. People tend to leave us alone, but I'm aware that he could attract unwanted attention from determined varmints and coyotes. So its not just a potential problem for bird dogs.

I think whole series of the old Mauser cartridges and their "wildcats" are underrated: 244 Rem 257 Roberts 7x57 8x57 etc.

Cleveland, I've had similar experience with a 286 NPT from my 9.3x62. Complete pass thru on every hog and deer from all angles - Never found a bullet. Goes straight thru any all hide, bones, cartilage and muscle. Hole size in, 1-1/2" round hole out.

I build, customize and reload my rifles for a specific purpose and hunting plan. So...Where's the hole or niche for this rifle for you?

You going to put a scope on a "bang around" rifle?

Yep, Me, too! Got the dust off my 9.3x62 and took in hunting over Thanksgiving holidays. That 286 NPT hammered 2 deer and a big hog - All DRT.
