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.
