[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 977773, member: 68226"] I think people need to try the 100 gr ttsx stoked with a Mag primer and a very compressed load of rl 25. You can not get enough rl 25 in the brass to come close to overpressuring with a 100 gr pill. If you modifiy the throat to maximize the coal for the magazine ( gives you as much if not more case capacity as a ackly), and freebore for the Solid copper bullet which is cheap and easily done. This cartridge will run with the Weatherby with this one powder. And this is not in wildcat form! It is a standard 25 06 and needs no fireforming. I totally agree that the 257 Weatherby is much safer and easier to obtain higher velocities with most magnum powders. The Weatherby will have its ability to pick and choose which powders you want to use, especially with temp stable powders which rl 25 is not. [/QUOTE]
