[QUOTE="kac1345, post: 35775, member: 2172"] This is definatly interesting! I used to have a 25-06 Ackley Improved that I thought was a speed demon lol! if i recall corectly i was getting 3722 with 85 grain BT the funny thing was it was built on a Ruger M77 Action Timney Trigger set at 15oz and a #5 Douglas the thing would shoot the 85 grain Nosler Bt and the 87 grain Speer TnT's into the low 2's Five shots @ 100 yards I know I know this is no long distance by any means but at the time I was just getting into handloading What a Cart do learn on yeah! I do remeber that the thing was just devistating on the deer in the Vynard on the dept permit ...I shot this one ..one night and all I seen was a big red mess just explode in my scope when the rifle finished recoile the deer was still standing in the same place i shot and only had 3 legs left and a basketball size hole in it shoulder..Anyways I would like to here more about these HotRod 25's looking to maybe rechamber my deer rifle in one since it will not get shot to much it should last a few years ...What kind of life are you guys getting from these things ...and is there anything that will beet the 25-STW Thanks Keith [/QUOTE]
