I have a Glock G36 which is my main conceal carry pistol and i also have a G33 that i keep around the house. I had a G43 that i gave my daughter when she graduated and I've been wanting get another 9mm to replace it with. I was looking at the G17, 19 and 45 and i researched them to death. After...

I recently acquired a box of these from a guy who sold his .257 and I thought i'd try and work up a load for my 25.06. Problem is I can't find any load data out there anywhere for this combination. I was hoping to work with these during the holidays if I get the chance. I called swift Friday and...

I see from different forums and articles that lots of people who shoot a 25.06 for deer use a 100gr bullet. I've always used 120gr bullets myself and the lightest I've used was 110gr. Is there an advantage to using the 100gr over the heavier weights other than velocity? I was just wondering am I...

Not a test but I thought i'd share. This is a Speer 120gr .257 Hot-Cor that I removed from a deer that I shot recently. I've been shooting these bullets for many years from my 25.06 and their performance on game has always been excellent for me. This is the first one that I have ever recovered...

This is my daughters Rem 700 SPS .260 that we've converted to a CDL. When I bought the gun I removed the plastic stock and replaced it with a H&S Precision stock that she eventually confessed that she didn't like. She said that she wanted a wood stock like she had on her Model 7 CDL that we...

I didn't want to hijack Bruce Mc's thread so I figured I would just start another one. I finally managed to get some time and good weather the last few days and got to do some work with the 115gr BT. The two powders im working with are Retumbo and my usual go to powder for the 25.06 RL22. I...

I've been trying to locate some 25.06 brass for months with no luck and it appears that it's going to be a while before any becomes available. I really wanted to try Nosler but it appears to have vanished from the face of the earth. The only 25.06 brass that i can find available right now is...

I've been looking around the last few days reading various articles on the correct breathing techniques while shooting. I know that everyone has their own style when shooting and I know that there are other variables that come into to play at the shot. I read where some believe that you should...

I want to load some of these bullets for my 25.06 CDL but i don't see RL22 listed as one of the powders used in the nosler chart for this bullet. Could someone please give me a min and max charge for RL22 and the 115gr BT? Thank You!

Does anyone here have any hands on hunting experience with the Sierra Gameking HP? Sierra's claim is that it's a tough bullet made for hunting but just looking around i don't see many reviews on them anywhere. I did see the one in the bullet test section where the 120gr .257 came apart on the...

I've been browsing the web the last couple days looking at the reviews of different bullets. I've used bt's in several different calibers over the years and still have quite a few in the cabinet. I've had good luck with them in both accuracy and on game performance. I know it's all personal...

I'm having trouble finding 25.06 brass but I have a ton of 30.06 brass on hand and would like to use it. Would it be better to size it down to .270 and trim and then step down to 25.06 or can I size it straight to 25.06? Thanks! Mike

My daughter recently purchased a Rem 700 SPS chambered in 260 and she wants to replace the plastic stock that came on it. She wants black with a raised cheek piece and she's narrowed it down to the HS Pro series and the BC Alaskan II. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with one...

I just ordered a 260 rem and it has the 1 in 8 twist rate. My daughters rem model 7 has the 1 in 9 and shoots the 120gr bullets well. I know the 1 in 8 is suppose to be good for the 130's and heavier but am hoping the 120's will also work well with this twist. Does anyone here shoot a .260 rem...

Im looking for a scope to put on a Rem 700P .308 and can't decide which one. I won't be shooting past 500yds and I want a standard plex reticle. The two im considering are the Vortex Viper HS 4x16x44 and the Nikon M-308 4x16x42. Does anyone have any experience with these two scopes and if so how...

Do any of you guys shoot the custom competition bullets and if so what is your overall opinion of them? How do they compare to other match bullets? I want to work up a load for my Rem 700P .308 to shoot targets out to 400 - 500yds and am looking at the 155gr & 168gr HPBT. Thank You!

I have been working with the 125gr BT in my rem 700 LTR and have a very good load worked up with varget. I usually start at .010 off the lands and work from there but this bullet was way to short for that so I had to seat deeper. Problem is that even with them seated deeper they won't fit in the...

This is my daughter's Remington model 7 .260 with a new Bell & Carlson stock. This gun was a great shooter and she's harvested some nice deer with it but the groups started opening up and the accuracy really went down. I was going to glass bed the wood stock but when I removed it I noticed a...

I was just going over some data and am curious as to why nosler makes 2 partitions in .25cal so close together in weight and why and how does a guy choose one over the other? I know the velocities would be higher with the 115 but are there other factors to consider with the 5 gr +/- difference...

I don't know why I want to mess with what's working but I have that itch that I just have to scratch :). I'm currently using the sierra 117gr ph and it shoots good and on game performance is good but I want to try something else and the Nosler 115gr is what i'm interested in. Problem is I don't...
