What twist is your barrel and what bullets were you thinking of using, I have 10 / 12 / and a 14 twist barrels and load from 55gr to 107gr bullets. Is the brass formed already?

8'' Bartlien.. Have 87vld's, 95vlds, I05's and do have a bunch of 70nbt's... Coyote hunting and pigs ..

Don't have the brass formed yet but have a bunch of .25-06 ready to neck down and load.. Right now have 4350, 4831, R22 and 7828.. Would like to find some H1000 but no luck on that so far..

I have two 6-06's. Both love 107 SMK's and H1000.

 

[Pat Byrne]

What velocities are you getting ?

 

[MagMan]

If memory serves 3300 on one and close to 3400 with the other. Never thought I needed to improve these.

The 70s and a full case of H4350 would be a good fireforming load, and would give you somewhere around 3500+ fps.

If you were into high velocity shooting, I have a load that sends those 55gr Kangaroo bullets over 5000 fps. If you are wondering what the hell a kangaroo bullet is, I started a thread on here about them.

I think the 70's are as light as I'll go in this barrel and most likely will stick with 87-105's. Thanks.

MM are you hunting with 107smk's?

 

[MagMan]

Yes, devistating!
