What did you reload today?

.25-06 Remington, 120 gr Hornady HP.
Comes with a full dose of N565 from a 26" barrel
Hornady discontinued this bullet a long time ago.
But I still have supplies and it is still fine for my Mauser M98.

One of the most under appreciated cartridges of all time.

Have 25-06 will hunt
In my mates 25-06 we load 100gn TTSX with 54 gn of 2209/H4350 for just over 3,400 fps and sub moa groups. Everything he shoots falls down.
For a cheaper bullet we use H4381sc anda 117gn SST @a smidge over 3,000fps, also a great hunting load at slower cost.
Until he got used to it he overshot some game at longer distances (300yds) because he wasn't used to how flat it shoots.
In Australia the 25-06 is suitable for 95% of game hunted in my opinion.
Then again I do like fast 25s.

So it looks like you want to do about 5,000 miles thru five states with a rifle. You will need a permit for every state.
Good luck.

WA will be the only hiccup. All of the other states recognise the others licenses…WA only recognise their own. Getting a permit from them will be like winning gold lotto.

Was just an idea, did not know Australia also is kind of a dictaturship, that disarm it's citizens.

Weighing some H4198 loads for the smokeless muzzleloader, sizing Pittman Accumax Hard Core 278 grain .452s and priming the modules with CCI 250s. Late deer season ammo.

only western Australia are dickheads, the rest of the country is fine. WA want to limit the amount of firearms you can have not totally disarm us. Not yet anyway.

Whimpy, whimpy I know LOL, but put up a couple hundred rounds of 38 Super today for my Nighthawk Custom double stack and Dan Wesson Guardian, all Starline Comp brass cases, 125gr Barnes copper hollow points and 137gr Hammer bullets, both over Longshot powder, the Barnes runs 1326 fps, the Hammer 1350, great SD and woods carry loads.

I love 1911's and especially in the 38 Super round.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
