Looking at Starline they raised their prices I see Creedmoor 6.5 went up quite a bit even 9 MM luger is up.
I got lucky buying all the 6.5 brass that I did when Gander outdoors were closing their doors, the brass would cost $1000 today compared to the $350 I paid.
I don't know Starline just came out with 25/06 brass but it is much higher priced than the 30/06 brass maybe to recoup the manufacturing costs otherwise it's just necked down 06 brass.

Some Hornady 400 grain dangerous game and half the price anywhere else I know they are pulled bullets but you don't have to worry about the tip being deformed compared to a soft open lead tip...
They have some federal fusion bullets now at good prices after you factor 40% off.

I have the Henry all weather it is supposed to handle the same pressures as the Marlin 1895 models. If I want hot then the Ruger 1 takes over that thing can handle the max loads.
Just noticed they had some round nose bullets where the hell they came from who knows but Hornady discontinued them so I grabbed 3 of them and 3 are left if they are Hornady this is your rare chance to get some.

There's a reason you never aim at the same location when shooting a crossbow. You can hit your own arrows almost every time you have to pick a different spot on the bag for follow up shots.
I decided to give this stuff a try just order some MP608-1 that is supposed to be near Staball 6.5. It was 30% off so the 16 pound container with tax for $300 is pretty good price. I figure I better just go 16 pounds because you likely will not get the same stuff again. with the primers last...
I try to be careful knowing I could do the same by loading a .270 into a 30/06. At least it would be pushing a smaller diameter bullet down the barrel but the brass would have some serious expansion going on in the chamber.
Trying to get a .308 projectile to go down a .277 barrel had to have...
There is quite a few YouTube videos of people having issues. Someone is going to lose their face at some point. If you have issues from the get go just imagine the constant shooting pressure is stressing the whole gun.
If you want some 240 grain .44 bullets Raven Rocks has the best prices around.
