A friend has a 2 year old Miroku Browning auto he purchased new at local gun shop. He has shot it less than 300 rds with CCI mini mags. It has been consistently jamming on almost every magazine. That is why he hasn't used it very much as he has other rifles. He noticed a slight barrel bulge a...

I obtained some old 25 cal hornady 117g RN in a trade. 41 had greenish copper corrosion some worse than others. I put all of them in my vibrator with walnut shells. 59 came out like new. The others have brownish discloration.
What are your thoughts? I plan to use then for testing my 25.O6 test...
I stumbled across this guys youtube channel and found him very educational and interesting. I am very curious about his back ground etc. He says he is a hunter and a collector and has some very serious rifles and is super knowledgeable about the rifles and the calibers. He is evidently well off...
Well I did a couple of ladder texts with new weatherby vangaurd 2- 25.06. My best group is with 50.0 g IMR 4350. IT is less than 0.4 in. With 120g Nosler Partions at 100yds.. I have also tested 117 g hornady RN and BTSP. NEXT trip to range will test all 3 with 50.0 g IMR 4350.
BTW I RESIZED...
FYI:
I was charging primed 25.06 cases yesterday and when I went to seat bullets they loosely slipped into neck!! I had only charged 3 cases so, I dumped the powder back into the powder container.
I disassembled the RCBS sizer die and noticed a build up of case lube on and around the neck...
This new outfit supposed to be making ammo and primers. Has anyone tried the primers? I can't find large rifle primers anywhere! Does anyone know when Expansion primers will be available and where.?

I am preparing to reload for a new 25.06 weatherby vanguard 2 and .257 hunting bullets are hard to find. Nosler partitons are out of stock everywhere. I have some 117g Hornady interlocks.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of round nose bullets in 25.06? I am planning to load 120 g hunting bullets. Most of shots will be 150 yds or less in LA.
I would appreciate any experience you may have with round nose bullets. I also load 35 Whelen and 7mm08.

Also would consider other makes of bolt guns.
I RELOAD FOR a friends custom 1903 springfieild with medium barrel 25.06. The thing is an absolute tack driver!
WHAT MAKE RIFLE IN 25.06 DO YOU LIKE?
What say you?

Is there a problem belling subject 444 with a standard 3 die set?
I am having a problem getting them to bell. Is it just a matter of die adjustment?
What say you?

Both rounds use the.430 dia. bullet. I haven't tried it as the brass supply is limited. This will be fired in a single shot crack barrel type rifle. I have the 265g Hornady FTX bullets, and correct powder and LR primers.
What say you?

I was sighting in a friend's custom 1903 springfield 25.06 today. it has a 4x12 bushnell scope. It would not focus at 12x. at 4x it was useable. I have never seen this? i tried focusing the reticle but it didnt help. I am assuming this cheap scope is toast.
I mounted this scope several years...
