[QUOTE="Broz, post: 267374, member: 7503"] Phorwath, I thought I was the only one silly enough to build a barrel burner like this... :D I can't help ya much, but I built a 25-300 Weatherby with a 28" Shilen. I worked up some quick loads for deer season and this is all the data I have right now. Weatherby case Fed 215 GM 81.5 gr of Retumbo Berger 115 VLD average velocity 3700 accuracy at 300 under 1 moa. Also have this. same as above with 80 gr of Retumbo and a 110 accubond @ 3720 and a few started to show pressure. This load was not as accurate. Let me know how you make out as I need to do more work with mine. I am not impressed so far. I could get close to these velocities with a standard .257 Weatherby. :rolleyes: If you have a rifle chambered like this ........ Well that explains you opinion on rangefinders...:D:D Just kidding!
