Another example of extreme differences in results using a 25-270 rifle.
115 grain plain base cast bullet with Max load of Trail Boss at around 1000 fps-- tumbling at 50 yards
120 Grain jacketed unknown brand bullets from yard sale, 3000 fps at 100 yards
A rifle my Grandad made for my mom from things he had lying about. It is a Remington Model 722 that had been a 222. My Grandad rebored it and rechambered to 7x57, a popular "girl's gun" at the time.

22" barrel. 41 grains at 2495 fps. Looks like I can increase the powder charge and try some more. The bullets are 50 years old. I may have to buy another box.
Three different loads tried. Same day, same gun. 7mm Mauser Improved.
reloder 17 Speer 130 Hot Core Max Load
Remington 125 grain, Reloder 19 Max load
and the satisfying one, Nosler 140 g Partition and Varget, 7 shots ladder from 38 grains to 41 grains.

Love my Chargemaster Link. Always on the money for a few hundred rounds, then needs a quick cleaning and back in business. It's made reloading much more fun.
I have some 120 grain boat tails (unknown maker, speer makes one that looks like it) that work in the 25-06 1-10 twist at max velocities, but tumble at lower velocities. That seems max length for 25 caliber 1 -10.
This is sad. I remember when my Church's missionary came back from the USSR in the 70's when Putin was KGB. They maimed Christians as a matter of policy. My Dad had friends killed on his airfield in Korea by communists flying Russian MiGs. I visited East Berlin when the wall was up, went thru...
