Great shooting Gene. That little 25 WSSM is smoking them along pretty nicely too.. That load would make a 270 Win sweat right there... That Speer has some good BC too huh.. I bet it is a sleeper, like the rest of the Speers! Have you shot anything with em?
 
It looks as if you have that load dialed in, Gene. That will do for deer.

...rocks, lots of rocks!!! That's kind my "check the scope, see if it's pointed in the right direction" load. I use the HotCors & 117gr. Sierras for load development, when I switch over to the 120gr. GrandSlams or Sierra HPBT Gamekings most of the "tweekin" is already done. The 120gr. GK's actually shoot better (was sighted in for 75gr. HP's, had to scoot it over)...

...but they cost a whole damn nickle more apiece!!!
 
If I didn't have nearly 1,000 115 gr Noslers on hand, I'd just shoot those doggone 120 gr Sierras for mule deer.
 
Seems like they should be pretty effective for rocks! That little 25WSSM seems like a great shooter Gene.

You going to shoot some of them bullets into jugs for us? Would be cool to see some of the 257 bullets your using blasted into the jugs. I think if they will work for rocks, they do okay for water! :grin:
