I know it's a long shot, but ya gotta keep trying. I've unfortunately loaded up my last of what I had on hand of the Nosler .257" 120gr Solid Base bullets. Thought I had another hundred sitting on the shelf which turned out to be just an empty box. These are being used in a custom 25-06 Ackley...

Great group, and end results, well the smiles say it all. I will probably try out some of the 115's I already have on hand and pick up at least a box of the 120's to give a run as well. I'm loading the 120 SB's in my AI version with Ramshot Magnum, and it rocks for the purpose. In our...

Thanks folks, he really is something else..(no braggin here at all) :mrgreen:

I can only echo the above comments, but especially the last one here^^^^ The second quote at the top there, well I was told again and again that the 115gr BT would not stabilize in a 1-10 twist, even though I was very successfully running the 115gr Barnes X out of my standard 1-10, Rem 25-06...

Like mentioned, for hunting you want reliable feeding If your loading form the magazine. If your loading single then you can stretch things out to reach or even touch the lands. To be honest though, with hunting loads I have always stayed away from things which could possibly get in a bind at...

Having a 25-06 in the house since the mid 80's I have pretty much tried them all at one time or another. I started with the 100gr bullets in the Ballistic Tip, then the Partition, then after the first deer season I decided I needed something a bit heavier. Unfortunately at the time there were...

Oh man I got all butterfly stomached, just reading the title. I just posted a note in the Classifieds about some .25 cal 120gr SB's. I just loaded up all but the last 5 of what I have and sure was sick when I went back to the closet and found only an empty box of what I thought was full. Those...

I would probably be a little upset too, however given the past six months rate of production by every component company, there could easily be a few slip by like that. It happens from time to time even under normal work loads, and most companies will be more than happy to make it right. Then...

My first was a Ruger Blackhawk. I really wanted the Redhawk to start out with but couldn't find one anywhere, and was on a waiting list for close to a year or more. Finally saw one at a gun show and traded off the Blackhawk on it. Still regret trading the BH simply due to it being a Flatop...

If you don't mind me asking, what rifle and twist are you using for these loads? I have a friend who had a slower twist 6mm that would not handle anything above about 85grs and the faster powders as well. The twist I think was 1-12 on his rifle. We got OK groups with the 95's but with the 70 -...

I have worked up loads for several 25's with that weight bullet. I have had the best results with the 115's using RL-22. The following data is for informational purposes in this particular topic, and should be worked up slowly from the starting load data for this particular powder. The load I...

metallica, Many years ago I worked on a similar thing. My initial confusion led me to believe that I was possibly using too slow of a powder. However, this powder was listed in the top five in several manuals. I did however look into using something a bit quicker. At the time I was using some...

I will 2nd that. I was told by someone in the Nosler Ballistic's Dept. for several years that a 115gr BT wouldn't sell or stabilize in standard calibers, hows it working for ya now that it went production? Throw out a heavy weight .257, a 1-10 should shoot it just fine. It would make an...

My choice until recently was the 115gr Partition.I have tried the 100's in various makes including Noslers, and they just didn't work out for I was looking for. I have shot the 117's of various makes as well as 120's and 125's, but always came back to the 115gr PT's. They would group...

As far as Mule deer or Elk go, I have only hunted them once, and that was in some NTL forrest land in CO. WE went up a weeek ahead of time, scouted hard, found some potentials and after letting a yearling buck go I took one that was a 4x3 that went just over 22" wide. Not a huge one, but for a...

My grandson took to hunting like a duck to water. He spends countless hours pretending to hunt hogs and deer. He also watches hours of hunting video's when he can. He will be turning 5 the week before Thanksgiving. He has been with me on several sucessful hog hunts, and when he told me he wanted...

Well the grandson practiced, and made it count when he had to. Now we got to get him some more. The rifle is a Ruger Compact in .308, topped with a Burris Signature 1.5x6 Electro Dot. Load was 38 grs of H-4895, Nosler 125gr BT. He will turn 5 the week before Thanksgiving. Here is a clip of...

I would almost have to agree with Guy on the having to much fun thing, but I been having a little. I had the BIG 270 out this weekend working with the 150gr Solid Bases. I was hoping to get out to 1150 with them but the mirage got up quick and nasty, so I just settled for busting the 500yd...

I choose the best bullet weight for the game intended to be taken, and with what rifle. In the case of the "06, I generally run 150 - 165 gr bullets. There are top class bullets in these weights that will handle anything I am ever going to hunt with this caliber. For WT and Mule deer, either...

Without trying to start a major debate in ethics, long range to me is anything that I am confident in my abilities and the firearm and ammo I am using at the time. It also depends on the intended target being a game animal or varmint. I am much more likly to extend my normal comfort zone on a...
