How can a guy not like anything that moves over 4000 FPS.

It's not really that bad 57.7g of Varget
I have been getting those kinds of speeds also with my 25 -06 AI only with 70 grain blitz kings and even more my wheatherby Compressed loads of RL 17 for both applications

How much crimp did you add?

Barrel life? I have no problem using it for varmints or predators, but I question the ethics of using it on game animals. P.O. Ackley experimented with sub-caliber bullets with extroidinary results, subsequent results by the public resulted in dismal failures as well spectacular kills. When I first got my .17 Remington, I shot a jack rabbit broadside at about 150 yards. since there was little or no recoil, I saw the bullet hit the rabbit. When the bullet impacted, I saw fur blown into the air. The rabbit fell facing the way I shot it and I saw I trickle of blood at the bullet hole. I turned the rabbit over and all the fur was missing on the chest and there was no exit wound. penetration was minimal, the the hydraulic shock was devastating. Results on coyotes were similar. .Granted, the two bullet are entirely different, but please experiment before trying it on a deer.

Weather was 57 degrees and I'm at an altitude of 499'
I put it together around the 90g HH but was disappointed in 3712fps
so I dropped down to the 67g, I think I can get more out of the 90's
and I'm still working on it
I've been doing this for decades and I assure you no Whitetail will carry this home, the static shock of this round will disable any Whitetail or Mule Deer with authority, as for barrel life, It never crosses my mind

That's awesome BB. I have two future builds I'm trying to prioritize and waiting on a current one to be done BUT now I'll be adding a 25-06AI to the list haha
If they act like the 80gr Barnes TTSX in my 25-06's 26" barrels @ 3,800+fps, impacts on deer at range aren't any worse, and sometimes less destructive, than some cup-n-core bullets I've used. Velocity drops rather quickly, but I do like the banjo wire trajectories at my altitudes.
They don't act like a Barnes bullet at all
