Wow! this is not a question I'd expect to receive any answer to in the UK & I doubt anyone here would post such a question. I guess we live in a very different world to you guys in the USA. Security in such matters is pretty strictly observed here.

Here in the UK it's almost impossible for a private individual to ship anything to do with firearms by post or courier. Especially not any kind of accelerant, so definitely not primers or powder. The usual way here is face to face (or via a good friend when convenient) for private individuals...

If you’re at 52.4gns IMR4831 without pressure signs, try going further bit by bit. I don’t know if the cartridge dimensions I gave will work in your magazine, but if the COAL fits, try working up & see where it takes you. I have around .050” to the lands. If you can get Viht. N560 I have...

I use 53gns IMR4831 Case length 2.484" Headspace 2.046" Primer Fed LR 210 Gold Match Bullet Nosler 110gn AB COAL 3.442" Comparator 2.870" .25-06Rem Gives approx. 3120fps from my 22" barrel, shoots 1/4" MOA @ 100yds & takes red deer stags (Approx 300+lbs) in the rut perfectly out to...

I use meths it's brilliant! It's cheap & works. I also use it in my rifle bore on a patch before shooting.

Ho yus JD very cool - this certainly fits the bill with the thunderstick (y)

Yup Scotty, The thunderstick shoots them sooooo good! (y)

(y) Very sweet...looks absolutely brilliant. Enjoy your hunting - I'm sure you will. Blue cyclone eh ... now what to call the white tip Accubonds I shoot? White Ghost? Suggestions anyone - gotta call 'em something now you started this :lol:

This is pretty much spot on. Use a universal de-cap die in a separate operation.. the re-sizing die de-cap rod should be raised until the expander just passes through the case neck. When setting up the de-cap rod... leave it loose, run a case into the die allowing the loose rod expander to pass...

Thank you (y)

Nice photo (y)

All are 110gn Accobond (y) At 50.5gns MV is around 3060fps @ 51.2gns MV rises To approx 3120fps +/- more of a jump than I expected for that small change in charge.

Yup, great round for the red deer I shoot in Scotland...I only ever had one stag that ran during the rut in 18 years with this rifle...it was found months later at the far side of the trees..lung shot from what we could tell in the remains, not that much was left by then. I’d used a Sierra...

(y) Loving Vihtavuori N560 propellant in my rifle. Excellent consistent results @ 100yds testing last year.

I use a smear of Hornady Unique or Imperial in the case mouth using a cotton bud then, after sizing run a bronze bore brush through the case necks to clean the inside so that propellant flows easily into the case. Simple & effective.

There's certainly a sharp twitch of the hinds tail...can't be certain it's an actual bullet strike though. However, it seems to have passed very close or possibly even through the hinds fur.

I had the same issue with two boxes of .257 Accubonds...e-mailed Nosler who advised they were an old batch...six years old. Some of the problems we have with dealers here selling old stock. They shot just as well as good bullets, but I only used them on paper. I reckon around 15% of each box was...

For interest ... deer stalking in Scotland ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbXFfwpwDns

I sure do Scotty, though unfortunately, not this season. However, the .25-06 has never ever failed me apart from one stag that ran so far through the thick planting of trees, we didn't find it until by accident some weeks later. That was a bugger, it was a really nice stag chewed to bits by...

Sounds really good & yes, keep putting a few rounds through it (y) these are really great rifles with super slick actions.
