When I first started working up a load for my 25-06 with 117 gr SGK's, I tried 3 different powders and about every seating depth/powder charge combo I could come up with...nothing worked. After talking to a few people, general consensus was the barrel twist on my rifle my not be a true 1-10''...

If I can find a combo with the 90 gr AB's & R22 in my 243, I'll only need 1 powder for all 3 calibers I reload...
Got to the range this morning. I ran through a 6-3 shot test groups with R-22 & Barnes TTSX's (140 gr.) @ 200 yds....none of those were worth a darn. They were all grouping anywhere from 2'' to almost 4''.
