[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2450499, member: 122164"] Get a reamer that is designed around lapua 30/06 brass, no down side, tough as an anvil. R#26 with the heavies should impress. I am with J E Customs, I have killed a flock of animals with the std 25/06, will not knock the AI as I shot out a barrel on 85-87g bullets with R#22 on Rock Chucks, 12T, 030 freebore around 3850 MAX. Next I had a 26" 257 Weatherby with zero freebore on a 10T, three groove Pac nor where the 85s were shooting tiny groups at 4130 fps with R#19, and 100's at 3850 with R#22. The Weatherby with the 80g Barnes TTSX at 4150 would surely impress! The AI with Lapua brass, twisted properly should impress in spades. Some years ago, I ran into a gunsmith in Texas that was building a flock of std 25/06's with 26" Shilen 12T shooting the 100g Sierra flat base at 3600 and the 117g Sierra flat base at 3300 using new Win brass, R#25 with Federal 215's. A good friend bought one of his rifles and I asked my friend if I could work up load for it using Gunsmiths suggested loads. Well, the gunsmith was right on the money with his speeds and loads. The 100's were shooting tiny clover leaf's and the 117g was shooting groups in the 4's at 3300s. For the guys that shoot 300 and under, the 117g bullets from hornady and sierra just get the job done.
