Honestly, I don't really understand why long range shooters use MILs instead of MOA since MOA is a bit finer adjustment. I prefer MOA, but I also don't dial much so I could really do with either.
For once, I’m not looking for velocity on this. I just want something that’s mine and something my kids can grow up shooting comfortably, I suppose. If this hasn’t been done, then I’d like to be the first. I have nothing but love and adoration for the other quarter bores mentioned.
I get great...
Reposting this from the Hammer board.
I have an idea for what I think would be a swell pronghorn-muley cartridge, but I don’t know if it’s been done before.
My idea is to take the 6.5x55 Swede case, neck it down to .257, and give it a blown out case and either 35° or 40° shoulder (like an...
The one in question is a 280 AI parent case, but the shoulder pushed even further forward and widened a tad at the shoulder line. You can also use a 270 win case.
Then there is a 25 Sherman Short, which is a SAUM case shortened and the shoulder straightened to 30° (and not an official Sherman...
Allen,
It's a 280/270 case blown out to have a 40 shoulder, but wider and pushed forward a tad.
Here's a 270 sherman which is the same case, but necked up:
I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That being said, I love my FA Intellidropper. It works very well and I love that it "learns" what powder you're using to properly meter it.
I'd bet you that we'll see an ABLR or AB come out in a heavier weight in .257 fairly soon as well. Can't all just be match bullets filling up the heavies.
Even before we first interacted on this forum, it was always such a breath of fresh air seeing the 25-06 get some love from you on Ultimate Reloader. If you did a fast twist, you’d be a staple in the 25 revolution 😎
Randy,
I had a Mark II VT in 25-06 that, even without bedding, was easily a 1/4" gun with factory ammo. I'd not worry about the bad reports, as you're much more likely to post about a bad experience than a good one. There are countless MkIIs that have shot amazingly that you never hear about...
