I had a Remington action rebarreled to 25-06 because I have ample 30-06 brass hoping to resize and shoot. This is supposed to be a kids gun with low recoil with the addition of a brake. It hasn't been that easy. Resizing leaves a donut that will still chamber stifly. apparently the chamber pressure is high enough to blow a primer about 3-4 gains under my expected max load.
Questions:
- do I need to fire form the brass before working up a load? I was hoping to avoid this.
- is my powder just too fast?
- could my necks be too thick?
I'm using 115 berger, rl26, in a 10 twist barrel hoping to get it to stabilize. I'm nowhere near the lands.
I don't want to waste time and precious supplies trying to reinvent this wheel. I'm hoping for some experience to let me know which direction to head from here.
