[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2560432, member: 121268"] Its been fun to see this thread get some new chatter. To follow up on my project, its still at my gunsmith. I haven't heard back from him and the last I talked with him he was working on ordering me a custom Krieger barrel. Out of curiosity I checked Kriegers website and their [URL='https://www.kriegerbarrels.com/leadtime']lead time[/URL] was /is 14 months for a custom barrel... ouch. Due to that I'm realizing a long wait and the rifle probably wont be ready in time for fall hunting this year. My only other big game rifle is a 30-30 lever gun so I will be using that exclusively this year for deer and elk which in a way works out because I did not draw my any bull tag this year which means I will be hunting general season either the thick Oregon coast range or maybe a spike only general season hunt in Eastern Oregon (still deciding). In the mean time I bought components to reload my AR in 223Wylde where components are more available offering me a chance to learn the fundamentals of creating an accurate handload and safely maximizing its velocity. At first my groups were terrible but I'm getting faster and more consistent at brass prep and I'm starting to get consistent tighter groups. Just last week I got super lucky and found some powder for my 30-30 so I will also be working on that as well though I have a good (pre-covid) stock of factory 30-30 ammo I'm currently zeroed with. So not to change the subject here: It will be a long wait but I look forward to my custom 25-06AI, Remington 700, 1:7twist, 26" with the idea of loading heavier Hammers In regards to reloading it feels a bit daunting to jump into a chamber that there isn't published load data for, you have to know to read pressure signs but Im comfortable learning that and knowing with the AI chamber I can safely explore the faster standard 25-06 velocities.
