    25-06 Reloading

    Good to see someone working with ramshot grand. I was just thinking if grabbing a few pounds for my 25-06 to play with some 115s. That’s insane speeds.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    Next is one of the does i shot. She was 100 yards and was pushed out of the woods across the field after some shooting. I hit her high and a tad back so she left almost no blood trail so speak of because of the high hit. She went 70 yards. But you can clearly see how quickly the bullet expanded...

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    This list is for @AZ_Hunter. These are the pictures I have of the 90 absolute hammer on deer. I’ve used this bullet out of a 25-06 and a 257 weatherby. First is my first kill with the 25-06 and the 90. The shot was 80 yards if my memory serves me and she took off on a death run and crashed...

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    I have taken a total of 8 deer with this combo from 40 yards to 180 yards. All shots were pass throughs, some shots encountered some bone and blew threw like a breeze. The farthest recovery was 70 yards and I legit don’t know how she went that far with a 3” swath removed from her lungs. I have...

    Are You Recoil Sensitive?

    Noise/concussion impacts my shooting more than recoil. That being said I find I shoot rifles that recoil less consistently better. I find most guns up to 30-06 relatively comfortable to shoot

    What is YOUR Small Caliber on Big Game Experience?

    I’ve not personally shot a deer with a 223 but my late great uncle always hunted deer with a tc contender pistol and #1365 55gr Sierra gamekings and he never had much issue staying in deer meat. I have shot many deer with a 22-250 with everything from 55 corelokts to 50gr ttsxs. I’ve witnessed...

    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    I have been impressed by both the robustness of all critters and also by how easy some die. No rhyme or reason to some. But there’s no guarantee on outcome just because it happened a certain way the last time. Some animals just have a great will and determination to live.

    What is YOUR Small Caliber on Big Game Experience?

    25 cal and under is small caliber and for me big game starts at deer and black bear.

    What is YOUR Small Caliber on Big Game Experience?

    I’ve personally taken 5 deer with a 22-250 and it works wonderfully. Several others have used my loads on my recommendation in a 22-250 on deer with great success. I think 22 calibers with the right loads are wonderful low recoil game getters.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    This season was a good season for me and my 25-06. I shot three deer with it two doe and a buck. All were taken with a 90 absolute hammer at 3600 fps muzzle velocity. It’s my favorite rifle for deer.

    25-06 blown primers

    Do it do it do it! I love the 25-06. Mine is a Ruger m77 and it drives tacks. If I were to rebarrel mine I’d definitely do a fast twist and possibly look into a 25-06 ackley if you wanted to form cases.

    110 VMAX carnage (Graphic)

    Holy cow that’s insane. I’ve been tossing the idea around of using 90 blitzkings in my 25-06 on some pa does too just to see how they do. Congrats on the deer!

    Lever Action anyone?

    This is my Winchester 94 30-30 that was passed down to me from my grandpa. It’s a 1955 model and it had a weaver 1.5 power mounted on it but I’ve since removed it because the side mount is just an awkward sob. I’ve taken several deer with it including my first buck. I still carry this gun on...

    First time hunting, got my buck but unsure about ammo for next year...

    A sst is a great deer bullet, shoot with confidence. Go buy more and practice is what I suggest you do. Congratulations on your first deer, us simple minded folk love pictures!

    CVA Accura MR-X - Load, Gun case, ramrod etc

    For you mrx owners, how is the trigger in this rifle? That’s currently my biggest complaint with my current rig. I would like a 2.5 pound pull.

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    I’ve shot hammers now for three years and I’ve been happy with the performance on every animal I’ve taken with them. Barnes kill well too. Pick your poison.
