[QUOTE="Land Rover, post: 1060659, member: 45043"] 25 06 Rem, 26" New Barrel with 9.5 twist Hi guys I have tried my first loads without much luck. powder AR2217 = H1000 federal large magnum primers 117gr SST and 117gr Speer spbt Best 3 shot group 1", worst 2" and Ave 1.5" All powder weights seemed to group much the same, from memory the third shot was the problem. Velocities were very high. 57.5 gr 2217 = 3151 ave 58 gr2217 no reading 58.5 gr 2217 no reading 59 gr 2217 = 3191 ave 59.5 gr 2217 = 3261 ave MAX Load The spreads were from 10 fps to 40 fps Are the loads too quick, should I slow them down for accuracy? They were seated .3mm off the lands. Barrel has had 40 rounds total through it. Should I try another powder? and I am keen to try 117gr Sierra Prohunters. What do you guys think I should do/try next?
