Or, you could do something like this with it:

I used it with other subs and it worked great. Someone on another board reported that they called Cecil at PR Bullet to ask if the .25 acp bp would work with BH209. His reply was, "Why do you think they call it '209'?" It does take more to ignite it than 209 primers made for other BP subs. Some...

Alliant Reloader 17 has you covered in all three cartridges. It does everything that people have been expecting from the new high performance powders. H4350 loads, minus 2gr. can be substituted if one cannot find loads for their cartridges using RL17. The only disappointments I've had is in...

What if one is shooting downhill (slightly) at the range? For example, our range has about a four foot drop to targets. Would it be best to have the chronograph level, or better to have it in line (parallel) with the travel of the bullet?

54.5gr RL17, .015 off the lands with the 85gr BT is way less than 1/2MOA and runs around 3700fps. Sorry, they don't allow deer rounds in Iowa, so nothing there.

That could possibly be the vote in the upcoming elections. If only every voter would view the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGlBHyVeYU

Sarah? :lol:

RL17 is doing very well in my .25-06. Haven't done much at all with 100gr bullets, but used 53gr as per their web site and actually chronied 100fps faster than their reported results. Was using Hornady SP's instead of their Speer bullets. It got 1/2" and 9/16" 3-shot groups of the two groups I...

I look at it this way..... Being anal about brass prep, especially for a Montana Rifle Co. Model 1999 in 7mmWSM, is done for the same reason I buy mechanics manuals for my automobiles. It isn't that the Mod 1999 is a competition rifle, or that I am a mechanic. It is done simply because we both...

+1 what remingtonman_25_06 said with the exception that if I could have only one rifle, it would be THE one, not the top three. The .25-06 could very well be the most versatile rifle out there. Most are accurate enough to tune a load to pop the head of a squirrel or rabbit easily at one hundred...

Pardon my ignorance, but could one of you guys give the SPS website URL?

I've read the same thing that "bullet" reports about the Barnes TSX bullets......that it takes such a shot as through at least the scapula (deer) to get it to open up. However, the same guy said (on another forum) that due to a much larger hollow cavity under the tip of the TTSX bullets, that...

Bang....flop with the old Hornady 33gr VMax, 4100fps MV. Shot at 125yds, no exit.

I've heard pretty much the same stories as Ryan46. One of my co-workers is a BR shooter and will not have a moly bullet go down any of his barrels. A friend of mine has shot nothing but moly bullets in his .22-250. It is still fairly accurate, but the bullets now do not engage the rifling until...

Ditto's for H4831SC. I'm still in the process of testing, but RL17 has given me as tight as 5/16" 100yd groups with the 85gr BTBT. Have yet to test the heavier bullets with it.

There is one guy on Doug's Message Boards who has done the same with a .45 PacNor barreled Savage MLII. You'll never see him at any contest, though (most ML associations don't allow the smokeless Savages). He was using a sized-for-his-barrel .45 Barnes Original. Even though there's a steep...

+1 After all, they have been work hardened, having been once fired and then necked down to a much smaller caliber. I've had no trouble with .30-06 brass being necked down to .25, but the necks have split on only one firing, so I now anneal them prior to loading them up. Were you able to neck...

With the Classic Loader, you WILL be making some noise, while the Hand Press is quiet and PORTABLE! I have a couple of bench presses, but since getting the Lee Hand Press, they have not been used. Some have complained that the hand press makes their hands sore, but I have not had that problem...

My Savage 112 VLP in .25-06 did its best to date using 54.5gr RL17 and 85gr NBT's, with two consecutive groups right at 5/16". The chrony showed they were going 3500fps out of a 26" pipe. If I can get 3 other rifles to have the same improvement with RL17, there will be a 5# order of it in my...

Hey, I like it! Nice looking rifle. If you don't care about saving the hides (at least in this part of the woods, they're not much good now, anyway) ya might give the Nosler 85gr BTBT's a try. Using RL17 they are the most accurate of any I've tried in my Mod 112 Savage VLP @ 5/16". :)
