I really need to shell out cash for a Hornady OAL gauge. This method is finicky.
These are the only ways the specific bullet can be housed while having two drive bands in the neck. One measures 3.410” and the other 3.270”. There’s a little room for jump, but not much.
My previous 25-06s were all set up with 115gr partitions and they were all point and kill, practically. I will try the 120 in this one, set it up with retumbo and see how it rips.
Yes, the bolt is on the wrong side.
Here’s my most recent custom. It’s my second fast twist 25-06.

I’m just excited for the heavy, high BC bullets that come with this. Hornady got it SAAMI approved, so I expect to see a CX with the form of the 134 ELD-M like they did with 6.5mm, 7mm, and .308. I bet you Nosler will release heavier stuff to follow as well.
I finally bought an action for the...
Hello all,
Could one of you swell fellas run a QL query for me with the following data? Not sure what all is actually beneficial to the program, but here:
6.5x55 Swede
130gr Scirocco II & 127gr LRX
H4831 (or the SC)
57.9g H2O capacity (lapua brass)
… 60k PSI
Thanks a bunch, looking forward to this
I’m actually dealing with a similar shift, though mine’s barrel or bedding related more than likely.
Yours may be due to your suppressor! When you first shoot with a can on, it has stale air on the inside, almost like a wall. You should try taking it off and see what it does with a cold bore.
I think on my wish list would be some heavier .257 stuff. Hornady’s about to release the 25 Creedmoor and there’s nothing besides Hammer and a few other companies that produce stout .257 heavies. A 115gr E-Tip or 125gr ABLR would suffice
