You guys need to try IMR-4831 with the 115's. You will find more velocity and accuracy over h4831.

I have 26" 1-10 twist Shilen Select match barrel. I use Lapua 30-06 brass. The elite 4200 has very accurate clicks, ask Jerry Tao, he shoots out to 2 miles. BillR what is your email address I can email you all my load info as I keep very good notes, Retumbo didn't work that great for me. How...

I use a G1 BC of .630 for the 115 VLD in my 25-06 AI shooting them @ 3300-3450. I've tried every which BC and this works best for me. I've done a box test with my scope and verified it's accuracy of clicks (1/8th clicks 4-16 elite 4200). I use a 200 yard 0 and I've shot every range from...

I wondered the same thing :D http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/members/montanarifleman-with-nitroused383.html

I have experienced the same thing with recent lots of Winchester 25-06 brass. I think Winchester quality is going to **** with newer brass, way too soft.

No love for the little .257 bullets :( I think someone could make a killing on some 125-150 gr stuff. 257 wby and 25-06 AI's are shooting 115's @ 3300-3500 fps. Even though I'm getting a really really high BC out of the 115 VLD's it would be great to have more options.

Hey Eric when will we see some more 25 cal 115 VLD's? Some of us are really up **** creek with out a paddle right now for hunting... Also how are those 125 VLD's coming? Thanks

Whats the deal with you, haven't seen you post up in a long time?

You will have no issues at all, my fireforming loads actually shoot great in my 25-06 AI. This is one attractive feature of the A.I's, if you are out of town and somehow lost your reloads. Go buy a box of 25-06 ammo found everywhere and enjoy your day. Keep your brass it will be fireformed when...

The most accurate / consistant powder that gave great velocity was IMR-4831 with WLR primers. The WLR primers fit too loose so I use the CCI BR2's. 56 grains of IMR 4831 always shot 3427 through my chronograph with an es of around 5 fps. Not that this means anything but I shot a 2 shot group at...

I'm not claiming to know anything really haha. I just have shot about 300-400 of these 115 VLD's through my gun looking for the perfect load. In the past I did a bad job of recording data so I often forgot what I had tried / tested before. This time I collected the info I could along the way...

My load data for 7828sc, WIN 270 Brass, CCI 250 primer, 115 Berger VLD seated .040" from lands. Use caution as these may not be safe loads in your rifle. 25-06 AI, 26" Shilen 1-10 twist barrel. 58g = 3230-3260 FPS 59g= 3375 59.5g= 3418-3454 60g= 3454-3481 60 Degree day 60.2g= 3392-3427...

I agree please use caution with different loads in your rifles. What is safe in my rifle may not be safe in your rifle, please start below max listed loads. I am shooting a savage I built using a 26" 1-10 twist 6 groove shilen. It has taken me a lot of time to find the best load possible using...

It appears you cannot attatch files on this forum. If anyone is interested I can email you my spreadsheet I have for all my load info with the 115 VLD's. I have played with all sorts of seating depths also, it seems to prefer a .040" jump. I have had best luck using the 270 brass as you can trim...
