Hmmm yeah that annoys me if the BC is BS because that's why I purchased the Speer 120gr. Have you used them in the past?
So with a 26" barrel I should stick with the 2217. Work up loads at .5g...

Hi Guys

I should be getting my 25 06 back from my gunsmith later today. P17 action.
It has a new 26" S/S barrel with a heavy contour (maybe a #3) heaps of meat at the chamber.
The barrel maker...

Thanks 257weatherby. The 80gr TTSX does seem to be the only light projectile in .257 that isn't a varmint round.
Have you used them in any of your 25 cals? I'm real keen to try them in my 303-25 at...

Yep, they had my ugly mug in some of the pics so I deleted them.

Hi Guys

I had a look down my old barrel with a bore scope. And though to the naked eye my barrel looked bright and shiny, the bore scope showed up pitting all the way down.
It is an old barrel...

Thanks Pete

Would they handle 3200fps as I want it to be flat shooting.

cheers LR

I expect them to be similar as the 75gr v max. I am after a bullet that's not so frangible.

Hi Guys

I am wondering if any one knows of a 25 cal 75gr projectile for shooting med game. Goats, Fallow deer and small pigs.
I have been using 75gr v-max but they do tend to blow up and do a bit...

Gunworks on trade me

Hey Guys,

Here's a picture that my apprentice took, of a pig he stuck a few months back. Under the skin on the back leg of the pig was a cluster of steel shot. Most had stopped before hitting the...

Wound channel of a pig I just smacked at 185yards with the 303-25. 75gr SST at 3200 fps. Shot just behind the ear.
No wonder it dropped on the spot.

This is what I ordered, the prices may have changed though.
The master Full length die set had the full length die and the bullet seating die, then you also need to get a 270-303 neck die and if...

Yep it is a CZ 452 American Varmint, it has a heavy barrel and is suppressed. I also added a Brookes trigger kit shim, this has lightened the trigger pull.
As for the stock, I guess I was just lucky...

Hey Smiddy, (are you Josh James side kick?) any way Pelorus sound is the place to be for Snapper. Drop your boat in at Havelock and head round to the Pelorus.
Just out of Havelock is the Keneperu...

Well that depends what you mean by "yours", if you means "yours to shoot" then yes it is mine, hehehe

The Hummer any day.

You can't buy factory ammo for the 303-25 any more, so reloading is the only way to go.

Hey Ritchie426

Yep I have a 303-25 Lee Enfield no4 mk1. I absolutely love it, it has a good barrel and is my most accurate rifle. I have tried 75gr SST, 87 gr varmint, 90gr blitzkings and 100gr...

Yep totally free floating, the old barrel heats up then throws the projectiles all over the show.
Any way my gun smith is getting a new barrel for me. Chrome moly 26" 1 in10 twist. 25-06 rem
He was...

Yep, the barrel is free floating.

I don't think its the powders, headspace etc because why would it group an inch when I let the barrel cool completely after each shot and then start spreading with a string of shots and the barrel is...

Yeah that's my point, I think the barrel is letting the rifle down. I have cleaned and cleaned the barrel, after using bore tech and brushes and then patches until clear. Then if I put more bore tech...

Yep 117 gr SST 1mm off the lands.

These were loads I worked up to, to see where my max load is. Lighter loads primers were fine.
The primers were not completely flat, but definitely flattening around the edge compared to lighter...

Hey Guys. I finally had a play with the chrony. To cut it short I think I need a new barrel. Any way loads listed below.
These were shot through my M17 25-06
117gr SST 59gr AR2217 3023.4 fps...
