[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1512783, member: 1290"] [FONT=Times New Roman]No grudges and certainly not looking for an argument. Not my thing. My thing is learning everything I can when it comes to my profession or hobbies. You can never learn to much about ballistics, setting drag racing world records or flying. I am concerned when such blatantly contrary info is given to guys just trying to learn. If left unchallenged or verified that sort of thing can be repeated until people start thinking it is fact rather than what ever it is and turn into a safety issue. [/FONT] You stated the 25-06AI does 50-75 fps as a 257 Wby. My and many others experience is much to the contrary. I disagree with your opinion but if you have discovered something new I would like to know all about it. There are new powders that added 100 fps on my Long Range Rifles and thought maybe it was something like that. Seeing this as a chance to learn I was curious what the specifics were for you to get a 25-06AI or Improved up to within 50-75 fps of what the Weatherby will do and that is 3550 with 110’s or 3700 with 100 grain bullets. There are already 2 different guys in this thread that are exceeding my claimed speeds. Dean2 stated 3580 with 110’s and 257Tony is getting 3780 with 100 grain bullets. The internet has many many references to both bullets being shot to my claimed speed and much more. You asked. [FONT=Times New Roman]How do I get 3700? [FONT=Calibri]Here is my answer. [/FONT] I do it with real Weatherby brass, CCI-250 primers and IMR7828 powder OAL of 3.300” in a bedded Accumark. Now your turn. How do you get within 50-75 fps of it with your 25-06AI with a 26” barrel. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
