Darryl Cassel, I have not seen his name on here for a long time.

From what I have seen, so far the Berger 115 VLD is the tops at 0.522, Lost River has a 90 that is like .490, but they are like a $1 for each bullet and I have heard more unfavorable accurcy posting than good.. the Nolser 115 Balistic tip is like .453, about as good as you can get without...

The Geovids are available already, they are very good, the only problem is that you cant swap from yards to meters as with the LRF 800/900/1200. you buy the meters version or the yards version and thats what you range in thereafter. anyway, ranging in meters makes more sence as does adjusting...

I would like to get a 25 wssm... probably a cutom barrl one, say 30 inchs.. probably make up plus some vel over the 26 inch 06 case... I'm thinking of a 1-12 twist to work better with the 85 Nosler BT.. I would like to achive 3600-3700 fps.. with this .331 BC drag bullet. scott

I would think the .257 140 ULD would require close to what a 140-150 gr would in a .264, they are only 0.007 dif., or to round it off, only really just over 1/2 a caliber apart, (more than 1/2 and less than 3/4).. I know this sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but round them off to the...

what is your trist? ___________________ Sorry about that, I meant TWIST! I need to slow down.. Does this guy have a web site... Good to see more big 25 bullets are comming around. the 25 bore is much overlooked... The guys building the hot 6.5 on 284 caes... the same 130 VLD in a...

Gez, Fiftydriver, my mouth is watering just hearing (reading) your posts, sounds like a great gun... Shooting coyotes with this gun would be like shooting Prariedogs with a 22-250, 100 gr at almost 4000 fps I can just see a coyote in two pieces... quick humain kills, the 130's seem to be...

Lynn, is the 25-06 you talk about that shoots the heavy bullets better than the light ones, the one that has the 1:12 twist?? I would love to have a 25 cal that shoots the 85's well, but I also like to shoot the 115 berger VLD's.. I know we can not have optimal with both.. The 115 VLD I...

I have yet to see a factory 25-06 come into the shop that would average at or less then 1/2 moa with the 115 gr Ballistic Tip or 115 gr Berger. Quote: by Fiftydriver ____________________________________________ I am not bragging on my gun, as it's very picky, and the barrel warps with...

I am thinging of having a 25 wssm gun built, or maybe buy a good one.. I hear the velocity is pretty close to the 25-06... with less powder... My 25-06 shoots the 115 VLD's the best out of it's 1:10 twist... but has trouble with 85's launching over 3400 fps (say 3500-3600-3700 fps)...

I have used the 115 Berger VLD's in my rifle with good results. My Rifle is a el cheapo Ruger Mk-II Varmit/Target model, that I bought back in 1994... I have sent many rounds through it's 26 inch stainless semi heavy bbl... probably over 2000.. The Barrel is probably burned out (throat)...

I go for the 50mm, 40's are old technoligy... worthless in my opinion.... it depends on if your just a target shooter or a hunter, 99.999% of hunting is done in low light conditions, Most Deer are seen Early in Morning or late in Evening just as it get light or just before it gets dark.. I...

That sounds like a neat idea, always thought about a long range handgun... Here in Indiana, we are subjected to SHORT range firearms for hunting deer.. inaccurate, rainbow tajectory shotgun/slug combo (not any better than a good 300 fps bow), muzzle loaders, and pistals, mostly 357's, 44.s...

****!!!...Donham--i was thinkingthe same thing. I know i wouldnt be caught firing that gun. Im happy with 3000 out of my 24" tube 700SS DM. I could see 3200 tops with a 26" tube but you gotta be blowin 70,000psi. How long do your cases last remington_25-06? get any primer leakage? i would only...

Geeezzz, man that is one HOT load... a 25-06 shooting 115's at 3400 fps... your gun is in serious stress.... 3250 fps is pushing it with a 115-117...... 3400 fps is about 3000 ft lbs of muzzle energy.... allot for a 25-06.. be careful scott
