Hi Keith & Bill
The figures you give me in terms of performance of the 25/06 is exactly what made me fall for it. I hope I can achieve similar results along with great accuracy;the loads data included in your posts will undoubtly help me get on the way,unfortunately,I won't be able to use reloader powder because it's unavailable here,Vitavuori is quite expansive,just as Vectan,Winchester very scarce in this burn rates,so my best choice is Hodgdon or ADI,IMR not imported.You see,our situation is a bit sad,only basic RCBS die series,no LEE,Forster,or Redding,forget about Hornady Lyman Dillon,not to mention Wilson;prices are about 35% higher, at least,than in the US;a box of Rem core lockt 270 will cost $70 for instance...My CZ 550 Lux cost me $1390 in 2008.A scope sells for 30 to 40 % higher than what you pay for it in the States,I know,I've already imported 10 of them for me and friends(they can't speak english so I do the transaction for them).But fortunately our arms regulations changed radically a year ago so now at least we are free to buy as many rifles we feel like,and there's no control anymore on ammo purchase(that used to be contingented),even though certain caliber still can't be found(25/06 is one of them,but it's changing) and some are legally banned(30/06,8x57,7x62nato)because they're war calibers,talk about bull !!!You understand why I'm adamant on finalising this project,and so glad of your help. So gentlemen,again, a warm thank you and a very Merry Xmas to you and your families, and safe fruitful and frequent hunting. CB
