25-06 load dev?

[wisconsinteacher]

I am hoping to load up some 115 PT for some ag tag deer. I looked at my Nosler book and see RL19 is one of the list powders.

My thought was to go with 48.5/49/49.5/50 grains of RL19 Win LR primer, Win brass, and 115 PT bullet. The bullet on the lands measures 2.751" on the lands. Where would you seat the bullet for load development?

2.731"

Concur.

And WT, I think you're going to like that 115 Partition... It's a good one!

That's what I use with the 115 PT, RL19 that is. I believe I'm .020-.025" off. Shoots really well. I will find out my charge but its running just over 3000. Light recoil and I'm thinking it'll be perfect for deer.

2.751" isn't that a little short? Or is it just me?

Probably measured with a comparator Jake. I think they'll be a touch over 3.00 with the 115 PT.

2.751" on the ogive with a comparator. Sorry about that.
