Having success with old SR 4759 and 25 caliber match bullets for light 1700 fps loads. I sure wish they would bring back this powder. Anyway I a had a great couple of hours at the range. These loads have no kick. 18 grains of SR4759 and a 100 grain Sierra Match bullet (2nds). The 25-284 used necked down lapua brass and the 25-06 Remington brass. WW primers.

I am going to use these loads when I introduce new shooters.

Here are two groups of 6 shots eachIMG_6123 2.JPG. The left 100 yards (lower "flyer" was cold bore) and the right at 50 yards. You can see the drop from point of aim at the orange bulls.
