[QUOTE="RogerPA, post: 2080875, member: 70741"] First of all, I’d again like to thank GLTaylor for all the work he has been doing building the Absolute Hammer spreadsheet! Experimenting with several different Absolute Hammer calibers, along with powders/bullet weights, etc., has become almost a daily part of my Covid mental health therapy. I can’t think of too many better better ways to pass the time away! Now for today’s range report: After working with the .257 Roberts the other day and getting the 90 gr. AH to a comfortable 3450 FPS with H335, I decided to try a ball powder with the .25-06. H414 is listed in the Hodgdon data with a 90 gr. SieHPBT, at a max of 51 gr. @ 3315 FPS. That’s not a lot slower than I was able to get the 90 gr. AH running without pressure signs during my first experiment using Hybrid 100V in the .25-06, so that’s why I started here. [B].25-06 [/B]w/90 gr. AH. H414, CCI 200, 24” Christensen, Hornady Brass 2x, .003 neck tension/no crimp, 37F & snowing. 50 gr. 3239 FPS 51 gr. 3255 FPS 52 gr. 3313 FPS 52.5 gr. 3357 FPS 53 gr 3397 FPS 53.5 gr. 3401 FPS 54 gr. 3407 FPS Absolutely (pun) no pressure signs with any of the above, with outstanding accuracy! (How they all shoot in a 1/2” group at 100 yds., with the MagnetoSpeed hanging off the barrel and 4 grains variation in powder, is beyond me?) Nonetheless, I know there’s room in the case for an additional 5 or 6 grains of this powder before I get to the base of the neck. Next time I’ll carefully see where it goes from this point and report back. [/QUOTE]
