    Thanks I'll give it a try. What primers do you use. (not that you can get any at the moment) I have been using Federal large magnum match primers. I guess I would be fine with just large rifle primers? The guy I bought my powder from said try these and that's how I ended p with the federal M M primers.

    With ADI 2225 and 2217, H1000 ect, mag primers will be fine, but you really do want to get over a chrony to make sure of what is going on, pressure signs don't allways show early. If you really are struggling to get Federal 210's, pm me and I'll help you out (only cause it's 2506!)

    Thanks, my mates brother has a chrony, so I will take him up on his offer to put a few through it. I still have about 40 reloads left, so will pm you if I use them before a new shipment of Federal primers comes in. I still have my 303-25 to shoot as well. It shoots 100gr prohunters and have just loaded 75gr SST that should be in the 3200-3300fps mark. Again need to use the chrony, hopefully this weekend.

    Hey 257 Weatherby does your 257 Weatherby Magnum out shoot your 25-06? or are they fairly similar.

    Both capable of half inch on a good day, three quarter on an average one. The 257Wby is faster by around 200fps on any given load, really only equates to an extra hundred yards of clean killing range over the 2506, projectile choice is more important in the magnum because of the extra velocity.

    Hey Chainsaw, have you got the load data for 117SST and AR2217. I have been given 100 x 117gr SST so will load some up. How do they go on animals- Pigs, Goats and Deer.
    I expect the SST to have a better BC than the Sierra Pro Hunters?

    no worries Landrover, will look up my load data tonite and let you know.
    Using sst's on red deer out to ~200 yrds, mostly when meat hunting. My son has aslo shot a decent size stag with it in roar as well. Have not tried anything further down range but that becos where we're hunting bush and clearings where 200 yd is max we come across.

    here u go 117 SSTs with 2217 56 - 56.5 gn. And 110 AB's 56 - 57 gn. Both in Fed brass & Fed LR primers. Safe in my rifle & all the usual disclaimers. Did not chrony at the time as these are getting close to max loads in the book & accuracy was good at 0.5 - 0.75 moa. Good luck.
