    old ammo

    the old cleaning rod was in the bottom of my Grandfathers gun cabinet when I was given it . it is really bowed bad . the cloth wrap on it is at a threaded coupler . I'm not sure if the coupler is bad , or if it was to protect the barrel from being scuffed because of how bowed the rod...

    25 06 load with 100 grain Partitions and H4831Sc

    with a partition bullet I wouldn't go to that much jump right away . since you were loading .008 jump , I'd go .015 , .020 , .025 jump . my experience with partitions is they like to be fairly close to the lands .

    Decisions...Decisions...Decisions

    another vote for Tikka . I don't think I've ever heard of one that doesn't shoot great right out of the box . I've only been around one Browning . it's a lefty X - bolt . it does shoot well , the barrel is smooth , it's an all around nice rifle .

    Cat in the rain

    that's a killin machine , right there . they say a bobcat can efficiently kill 8 times it's weight . so a 25 pound bobcat can handle a 200 pound prey animal . I'm not sure on the big cats , I assume it would be the same .
