.25-06 with 75-87 grain bullets
...IMR-4064 was pretty much my "go-to" w/ lighter bullets in .25-06. Another bullet to look @ is the 90gr. BlitzKing w/ a 0.390B.C., most 85-90gr. .25 cal bullets are around 0.330. The 90gr. BlitzKing has about 12" less drop @500M, & about 1/2 as much wind correction... -

Best bullet weight for big hogs/elk in 338 Federal?
...honestly, on paper a 225gr. AB will retain the same velocity, deliver 13-30% more energy than the lighter, lower BC bullets, w/ 3-4" more drop, but 2-3" less drift @ 400yds. -

Rebarreling?
...I wouldn't give up on it till you tried a heavier bullet. I had one 7mm I got a box of the old Hornady 139gr. Frontier ammo thrown in when I bought it. Shot that whole box 18-36" high left, most of what hit the backstop were keyholed. Shot my 160 & 175gr., & surprisingly enough, my 100gr... -

A Mixed Day at the Range
...no, No, NO!!! Haven't you guys been reading the 'other boards??? RL-17 is "Of the Devil", a few degrees warmer & it'll blow up, a few degrees cooler, it won't even ignite, especially if it's *C. Oh, & inconsistent, your next group will go 10.4MOA. Pack all yer RL-17 into a padded envelope &... -

50 gr Sierra Varminter or Blitzking for Coyote in 22-250?
...they're both gonna be pretty frangible, but the higher B.C. of the BK will give you a little bit of an edge once you start getting out past 400yds... -
Open to Abuse? Maybe!
..."Who bells the cat???". W/ the VA it's a bureaucrat that catches one or two 'keywords' in your jacket & sends out a letter telling you you're banned from owning firearms, no adjudication, no recourse beyond a long & costly appeal. Sounds like SS is gonna use the same 'system'... -

Custom competition for hunting?
...based on target shooting w/ the 200gr. 8mm CC I wouldn't expect much expansion or energy transfer (hydrostatic shock). If you did get expansion, I'd expect a lot of spalling & bullet tumble, not the controlled expansion/ energy transfer most of us are looking for, a lot of tissue damage, not...
