[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1904495, member: 26477"] I am going to have to go rummaging through a old box of books related to reloading and find the first Speer manual I used for reloading bullets. The reason is because of the horrible data they printed on reloading the 25-06. I imagine that many others who used this data were either injured or had the same experience I did. The data regarding the use of IMR 4831 was around 5 grains higher than Hornady or any other data I was able to find. I started with a mid grain load and my action seized on my new 700 Remington BDL. After getting it opened, the case was split open clear through the base of my case. My friend, who also had a 25-06 at the range thought I might have dumped too much powder so he decided to try shooting a round. Afterwards we headed to the Smith to get our actions opened. The Smith asked me if I had loaded using a Speer manual and began telling the stories about his encounters with others who had and been less fortunate. Apparently we were the luckier ones... Since then, I check load variances on each data source I use to make sure that it's not a misprint or mistake. [/QUOTE]
