i use 2 bullets for my 220 swift. a 40gr Noler B/T and sierra 52gr match hollow point. i use H380 for both bullets. both hit hard. to save the barrel i use the 52gr more than the 40gr. my gun a rem 700 bedded in a Boyds thumbhole and a new timmeny tirgger and a Ruger mod 77 old tang safety with...
looks like you have a good slection of calibers allready, why not a 220 swift????. my rifle has taken 3 deer this year so far and several crows. i perfer the crows... longest shot on a crow 284 yards. longest on a deer was a 8 point at 200 yards with a solid neck shot. all three were neck shots...
hey thanks for the updates, you and Fircat got me really fired up to go and test my loads. i had to finish some load testing for a 7mm mag and a 375 H&H. i hope to go shoot on tuesday and i will compare my data with yours. once again thanks for the info..... good shooting Bear
that woke me up. thanks. i went back and looked at the info and mine said 54.3 grs of H4831sc for max. my e-mail is dated 5-Aug-2011.....and my rifle also shoots tighter at max loads for the other bullets i have tried... i will find out this weekend.... be safe and good shooting...Bear
i just received load data from berger for the 115 gr vld for the 25-06. their max load for H4831sc is 54.3 grs. my savage grouped 51.5 grs of H4831sc at .5. i have a set of test loads ready to shoot. i hope to find one faster and tighter.. good shooting. Bear.
hey folks, i was running low on walnut media for my tumbler--- vibrating type so i went with an additive that i have at the house. i am a aircraft mechanic by trade and we use baking soda as a means to strip paint from the planes. very low abrasion factor. so i thought why not add some to my...
mine used to be a 30 cal---30-06 but i fell in love with my 25-06. made one on a remington action and have a savage. 85 gr Noslers and H4831sc, 100 gr Noslers B/T with H4350 and now Berger 115 gr VLD with H4831sc. this covers almost everything i shoot. What ever you shoot---- enjoy---- Bear.
what company? if it is stocky stocks then they are ok. Boyds also make good replacement stocks. if you are short on cash then compare them to Boyds. i have used both. the finish is a little better on stocky and you can get them with the varmit barrel channel easier than with Boyds. good shooting...
good luck... i could not get mine loose, the sear adj screw was really glued in... replaced it with a timmey... it is on a 700 in 220 swift...sweet... once again good luck.
