[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 237740, member: 2736"] This is very common with cartriges with case capacitys from 50 to 100grs. The 215 are very hot and won't work in your 25-06 as well as standard rifle primers. For some reason cases that hold 80 to 90grs of powder seam to be the most sensitive to primer changes. With out exception all of my testing with this size cartrige shot 30 to 50ft/sec faster with the Fed 215s but SD's and ES's sufferd (30 to 50 ft/sec spread) but when I switched to Rem 9 1/2 M's (A cooler mag primer) velocity slowed and SD's dropped to below 15 ft/sec. The 25-06 will hold around 60grs so you will get better results with an even cooler primer like the fed 210M,rem9-1/2 LR or the CCI BR2. I have had good luck with all three of these primers in 06 size cases and velocity has been within 5 ft/sec of each other. My records show that the CCI BR2 worked best in the 25-06 But all rifles are different and this could be true for your rifle. I hope this helped J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
