[QUOTE="41mag, post: 147044, member: 3804"] Well so far I have only used the mentioned powders in the standard 25-06. However RL-22 and the 115gr PT's were my go to load for over 15 years. My load was 56.5grs with the OAL of 3.250 going 3150fps for 1/2" groups @ 200yds. This load shot scary accurate and always did the job. I have shot both eh 125 and 130 Wildcat's through the rifle and used both the 22 and 25 for the limited sesessions. If you work up slow you should be able to tweak the load into around 1/2" at 200 yds easily. THe impacts of these bullets is awesome, and I doubt you will look back once you get your load developed. I got the 130's to just over 3100fps with my standard 24" factory tube so you should be able to get where you want to be with some careful measureing. I don't have any data up here with me, but here is the very first groups I shot with the 130's with them seated without changing my die from the 115's. I know there was some differences as the profiles are different, but I was just looking for the velocities at the time. This was 100yds with the 130's and RL-25, [url="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1445467185043012562sBXPHB"][img]http://thumb2.webshots.net/t/54/54/6/71/85/445467185sBXPHB_th.jpg[/img][/url] This was the exact same load at 300yds, [url="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1445467133043012562GwJLjG"][img]http://thumb2.webshots.net/t/54/54/6/71/33/445467133GwJLjG_th.jpg[/img][/url] I can tell you that the 130's do a number on a hog, and should work equally well or better on deer or elk. I might be building me a new 25 in an AI version this year, but need to get some other issues covered first. Good luck with yours and have fun. [/QUOTE]
