Have been hunting with BT's for years and have shot a lot of game with them,and they have always exited.Recovered my first one from this years buck antelope.The buck was quartering toward me at 260 lasered yards when the 100gr BT from my 25-06 entered the left chest.It smashed a rib and...
Took a drive to Sportsman's Warehouse today (200 mile round trip for me) to pick up a new rifle.Walked into the store and headed to the reloading isle.Looked for bullets first,few partitions and some scattered BT's but not much and NONE in the weights I need. :x Lots of red,green and yellow box...

Thinking about a Tikka in 25-06.They have a 22" barrel....I should still be able to get 3300 with a 100gr. BT ?Anyone ever own/load for a 22" 25-06?
7mm-08 and 6.5 Swede are in the running also,but leaning to the 25-06.
Ordered 2 more boxes of Nosler custom brass in 243 from Midway and one box is 6 pieces short. :( Going to call Nosler monday morning and see what they say.

Picked up my new rifle today,its a Tikka 243win with a Leupold 3.5-10x VXIII.
