I shoot a 25-06 a lot, and my go to bullet was always the 100 grain Partition. That bullet will not fail you. My dad and I shoot a lot of hogs here in central CA and the 100 grain Partition has always performed great, as has the 115 grain Ballistic Tip. However being in the middle of CA, I...

I own a Model 70 Super Grade that I bought in 2012. It is actually the limited edition to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Model 70 being produced. It is chambered in 30-06 and a beautiful rifle. The workmanship on this rifle is extraordinary. The wood is great, the bluing is deep and...

You are likely to get lots of suggestions here, but I will make one simple comment. When loading for the 25-06 I have just about settled on the following combinations. For bullets of 100 grains or less I use IMR 4831 and Fed 210 primers. For bullets of over 100 grains I use IMR 7828 and...

Like everyone else here, I am just guessing, but I have a couple of ideas for you. In the 25-06 I would try another bullet. As much as the 115 Partition seems like an ideal projectile, they have never shot well for me in several 25-06 rifles. On the other hand the 115 BT shoots great as does...

Guy, enjoy it while you can. They came in here a few years back with lots of fanfare. I bought LOTS of stuff there and they were always busy. Then without warning they closed up, gone, out of here. This is the middle of CA with a large market and I knew lots of people spending money there...

Guy, like you I always sort of wanted a Super Grade Model 70, though most of my rifles have been Remingtons. Then Winchester came out with the 75 Anniversary edition of the Model 70 Super Grade. It is chambered in 30-06, which I really did not need, but I just had to have it after looking at...

Wow, that is great workmanship. That guy knows what he is doing. Like several others who replied, I have bedded a few, but they sure did not come out that good. I imagine they really ought to shoot now.

All I can tell you is that here in central California the .264 Winchester craze came and went rather quickly. I was pretty much just a kid then, but nobody kept those Model 70's very long. I am not sure if it was the barrels that Winchester was using, the cleaning techniques of the shooters...

Pick up the latest issue of Shooting Times. It has a picture of the 26 Nosler on the cover and a feature story inside. While limited, it does show six handloads for the 26 Nosler for bullets from the 120 grain Hornady GMX to the Swift 140 grain A-Frame. Powders used include H 4831SC, Magnum...

After working up loads in six different rifles chambered for the 300WSM I have found an outstanding load that just seems to work. Winchester case Fed 215M primer Near Max load of H 4350 Barnes 168 TSX I know, I know, it is not a Nosler bullet, but I live in the middle of California.

My friends and I messed with the SST bullets in several calibers and found them to be somewhat too fragile for use on pigs, too many instances of the bullets blowing up on pigs shoulders. I personally had gone to the 225 grain Nosler Partition for all my .338 Win Mag load. That is, till the CA...

My advice is to let your rifle tell you which one it likes best. Go shoot them both and see what results you get. In my experience these powders are so much alike in performance that it is rather amazing. Varget is supposed to be resistant to temperature changes and it sure is easier to load...

Lots of positive responses here for H 4350, as makes sense. It is a very usefull powder in lots of calibers, and great in the 25-06. However, while I have tried H 4350 in the 25-06, I still get my best performance when using bullets of 75-100 grains when I load IMR 4831 powder. Most of the...

It looks to me like you have way more ideas for loads than you have time for right now. Of the stuff you have on hand my first choice would be to try and develop a load for the 180 grain Nosler Partition using the IMR 4831. I own two 300 WSM rifles and both shoot great with 180 grain...

My Remington 700 Classic chambered in .338 Win Mag shoots lights out with the 225 Partition when loaded with H 4350. The IMR 4350 you have should work just as well. A previous Ruger Number One chambered in .338 Win Mag shot best with either IMR 4350 or RL 19. The 225 Partition is a great...

In both my 22-250 Remington rifles, attempts to shoot the 60 grain Partition were dismal failues. One rifle has a stock Remington barel with a 1 in 14 twist, the other a custom Hart barrel with a 1 in 14 inch twist. I imagine that the 60 grain Partition is a great bullet, but they will not...

Sure, you can easily make 25-06 brass from 270 Winchester brass. I have done it just for an experiment and it works fine. However, be aware that you will have some trimming to do. The over all case length on the 270 Winchester is 2.540 inches. The over all case length of the 25-06 is 2.494...

Get the swivel model, you will not regret it. I used to have a couple of non-swivel Harris bipods. As soon as I tried the models with the swivel I gave the old ones away.

This is just one more opinion, but there is a statement in the old Number 8 Speer Manual that is pretty to the point. It says "However the criterion should be just what any 7mm Magnum does with a 160 grain bullet." I used to shoot 145 grain Speer bullet in my 7mm Rem Mag with great success...

My 41 magnums get a steady diet of 21 grains of H110 behind the Hornady 210 XTP. I own two 41 magnums currently, two extremes so to speak. One is an old Ruger 3 screw Blackhawk with a 4 5/8 inch barrel and the other is a Freedom Arms with a 10 inch barrel. The Ruger makes a great trail gun...
