Reloading Barnes for 25-06

[ArchAngelCD]

I also see no problems with those primers. They look normal to me.

As for the best bullets on hogs, I have a few. I only mentioned those other all copper alloy bullets because the OP was talking about an all copper alloy bullet. Sure the Speer bullets are good but they are not what the OP was talking about. It seems now he is open to all bullets.

If I were to pick a .257" bullet for hogs in the 25-06 it would be the 110gr Nosler AccuBond bullet. IMO it's the best cross between quality and cost for the task. My second choice would be the Sierra ProHunter bullet. Of course the Nosler Partition will also work very well but IMO it's more bullet than needed and the cost isn't justified.

Great. I will order a box of those bullets Tuesday but they will probably be backordered. I would like to shoot various bullets before I decide on one for this winter. We usually leave around middle October, return for the Holidays stay in FL until April sometime. Since my HOA prohibits flammables and explosives being kept on premise I have do all my final loading here in Indiana. PS: I am on 2 other forums and have never received good answers as here on THR. On one forum I asked how to safely remove crooked primers and the answer I got was "very carefully."
