I, like many of you, am a 25-06 fan. But I have to wonder what it's future is. It seems to be one of the most neglected cartridges around. You cannot buy good brass for it - Lapua, ADG, Peterson, etc. never has and never will manufacture it. I believe there used to be Nosler brass but they took...

I am struggling a little with new ADG brass. I know it is thicker and has less capacity, so I did a ladder from Nosler book load for my 300 WSM of RL17, 180 NAB, REM 9/12M primer starting at 62. I made it to 63.2 and say pressure signs - ejector mark, heavier bolt lift. I saw a velocity...

What would you say about consistently having groups of 2 shots grouping, but those groups not grouping together. Pictures to explain. One pic is 175 LRX, one is 180 TTSX, both at approximately same seating depth (deep). When I don't seat as deep the groups just open up. Could it be my scope...

What rifle scopes is everyone liking these days and why? Leaving this question vague on purpose!

Hey all, I have a SAKO A7 300 WSM. Longest COAL length I think I can get away with is about 2.997 due to the short magazine. I measure the distance to my lands at 2.385. So of the SAAMI spec, I calculate my freebore is = .2574. I found a good load with ELDX's in another rifle .02-.03 off of...

Here's a fun challenge if anyone is bored - can quick-load provide a few good loads for a 25/284 with a Berger 133 or the new 134 ELD-M? I have the 25-06 load data from Berger and am interested in comparing. I just emailed Hornady as well.

I have the 7mm bug and am dreaming of some sort of faster twist rifle in something like - 7 SAUM, 7PRC, even 7 rem mag. I saw the opposite question recently - lighter bullets in a 7PRC. But I'm wondering what opinions are on the best heavier .284 bullet would be, for elk sized game, etc...

My plan for the kids' elk gun is 7mm08 with 150 Accubonds. Let's say I can't find Nosler bullets, what would everyone's suggestion be then?

I have been using a 300 WSM for elk for years and love the gun, but any more I have the bug for a mellower, lighter recoil, elk caliber. Nearly every elk I have ever shot has been within 400 yds. I grew up with the 30-06 and am considering switching back to this. Others in mind are 270, 7mm-08...

I inadvertently trimmed my 300 WSM brass to 2.087, min trim length is 2.090. Will I see any negative effects? Thanks guys

Well my kid appears to be left eye dominant. Is it true, without a doubt, he should shoot lefty?

I knew there were 140 and 160 Nosler Accubonds for the 7mm caliber, but was surprised there's also 150gr! What's the thought behind having the 3? I've seen the 140 recommended alot for the 7mm-08 for elk but they all look good.

All my 25-06 loads have been worked up with WLR primers. If I can't get those what would be your second choice? Would FED 210s be a good one? Thanks

Here's a naive question. I hear/read that some cartridges do better with short barrels, some with long barrels. For example, .308 and 7mm-08 are good with a 20" barrel, but you really should have a 26" barrel with a 25-06. Obviously all of them get more velocity out of a longer barrel, but...

Would the Lee safety scale make an acceptable backup scale? I've gone all digital and it feels weird not having a non-electric one for backup in case of problems. Any other cheap options? I still have my old powder thrower and trickler. I actually threw away my RCBS 505 and am regretting it but...

I was surprised to see REM brass read 100fps faster than Winchester brass for me, I expected the opposite. Has anyone used both Winchester and Nosler or Norma brass that could tell me what differences to expect? I think I read it should hold a little more volume? Is it good stuff? I've been...

As title says, looking for 257 110 accubonds, new Winchester 25-06 Brass. I have some components to trade, .308 168 TTSX, for example but would pay cash also.

I hope I don't regret this but I picked up some Norma MRP. I've been wanting to try RL23 and from what I've read MRP is a more consistent RL22, maybe a little faster. I have some new Sierra 110 TGK I'd like to use. I am feeling like I'm in uncharted territory, but hoping I could even start...

Got some new bullets to play with in the 25-06. Hope they shoot with the 110 NABs

I've gotten pretty interested in looking at rifle suppressors recently and was searching for a good elk capable caliber that I could run with a real short barrel and still be efficient. My search brought me to the 338 Federal. This looks like a pretty neat cartridge. I've always shot 308 caliber...
