  1. 25-06 or 257

    Like others, I really love the 25's. I have two - one a first-year production 700 ADL that I've re-stocked with a nice piece of maple. It's the 'slow' gun. It puts out the 110 AB at only 3200 fps. It has in excess of 3000 rounds down the pipe, but until I can't reach the distance or the groups...

  2. .264 BULLETS

    Nosler 142 gr ABLR from SPS (Shooter's Pro Shop) 2nds or over-runs. Use them in my 6.5x55 SE and my 264 WM to great effect. .3 groups in my 6.5x55

  3. It's that time of year. Let's see those kills.

    No trophy but, good eating. First one for the pup as well.

  4. Nosler AB vs ABLR

    I'd say they do pretty good. This is a 100 yard target with my 6.5x55.

  5. Nosler AB vs ABLR

    I use the 142 in my 6.5x55 and a 264 Win Mag. I too, noticed the BC wasn't as advertised. My testing in the 264 gave me .625-ish out to 700. The ABLR is suppose to open down to something like 1200 fps. I took an elk at a 'whopping' 137 yards that went through both shoulders. My friend took a...

  6. Show me the money

    Shoot to learn form (and to make empties) small details matter in your loads and your shooting.

  7. Ohhh S#!!!¥$$

  8. Splits on shoulder..?

    jepp had the right answer. I haven't shot someone else's reloads ever and don't plan on starting. After watching a friend of mine load necked & trimmed 30-06 mil brass down to 25-06, then filling a bowl with IMR 4350 and IMR 4831 then scooping the mix into each case up to the mouth. Then seating...

  9. Oldest powder and primers

    Used up my pull-down powder years ago. Still have an 8 lb 'keg' of Green Dot from the late '70's and a metal can 8 lb of IMR4064 from about that same time frame.

  10. NRA and Money to Clubs

    jonbearman, if you have a youth group shooting on the rifle range, put in a grant in their name and info to the NRA Foundation. you might be able to get some help for the rifle range as well.

  11. NRA and Money to Clubs

    If the grant came from NRA Ranges or the NRA Foundation (through the Friends of NRA) then yes, the club should make the effort to maintain the range. If they are not, you may contact your local NRA Field rep. (www.friendsofnra.org) on the right hand side of the page is a tab 'select a state'...

  12. Distance to Lands has increased 0.045"?

    If I'm reading the OP correctly, he did his initial measurements with the 185 Jugs then measured with the 200 gr and/or the 215's and found a different measurement. If you change the bullet, odds are good your measurement will change as well. Your last post showed some growth with the Jugs...

  13. Brass make much of a difference?

    I'm strictly a hunter. In my semi-auto (Daniel Defense DDM4V7) 1-7" twist, pretty much anything I shoot through it will group under 2". Some 55gr FMJ re-man groups around an inch and my reloads using a Sierra 1360 55 gr groups under an inch. That's using a mix of brass. In my Tikka bolt, I...

  14. Fireproofing a gunsafe

    One other thing to think about is to find a way to seal off the safe should a fire occur. My safe wasn't in a fire I had recently, but, all of the firearms (except the one's with cerakote) had surface rust caused by the steam getting inside the safe. Ammo boxes on the top shelf suffered nothing...

  15. Decipher a ladder

    I'd go with 5. Of the two targets, #5 is in the 'middle' of shots 4,5 & 6 on the one and is nearly horizontal to shot 6 on the other. Might shoot those three loads again taking more care on your form and follow through for each shot. Then you will have a better idea which way to go.

  16. Bullets starting wildfires?

    At a fund-raising shoot this spring we shut down the range and went to fight a little grass fire. Temperature in low 100's, humidity under 15% and tinder-dry grasses. Bullet deflected off of RR ties and landed in the grass. Hot enough to burn about an acre before we got it put out.

  17. Accubond seating depth

    I have two 25-06's that I shoot the 110 Ab in. One is .05 off the other is .1 off the lands. My 243 I started at .1 and shot sub-.5" groups. My 264 WM is at .075 off. Seems like they like a bit of jump. But, no two rifles (as shown by the 25's above) like the same jump. BTW, these are all...

  18. PLEASE READ We Need Your Support for Increased Security

    Done. Still sending the monthly though. I went ahead and upgraded to Gold. I think a 'Platinum ($100) and Diamond ($200) levels would be a good thing as well.

  19. Pay it Forward

    deepwater, bullets are on their way. Sorry for the delay.

  20. Scam alert

    I agree, Gold or Silver or not at all. Minimum posts might be a bit difficult, but then again, not a bad thing. I definitely don't see letting a new member sell right off the bat. Buy? I can see that, but the $$$ comes before the shipping.
