Shot the 25-06

[mr.big]

110 Sierra and imr 4350. Worked up to what I call pressure and backed down 1 full grain and loaded 3 rounds and shot 1 group. I'll retest it sometime to make sure it'll hold.
I put an old weaver target scope on to do load work up

Should be a stone cold killer

That'll sure ring one's bell!!!

Is that barrel faster than factory?

Idk I haven't shot a factory barrel 25-06 since I've had a chronograph

The load is above book max but it isn't showing any pressure signs right there

Just curious. The factory barrels had a slow twist and wouldn't shoot the heavier bullets well. Yours looks like it'll be fine.

That's cooking right along. Well above the original 3200 fps you were hoping for. Should be great whitetail medicine.

Was the one outlier the third shot? Seems I recall it wasn't bedded? Still awfully good. Not being critical at all.

Winds brutal here this morning. I'll fine tune it when I get some decent conditions

110 isn't heavy in a 25-06.
