25-06 barrel length

[dakotagun]

Would a 22" barrel be too "blasty" in the chambering? 24" is all I've run and would like to go shorter, but not too.

 

[Driftin']

22" standard sporter contour balances nicely and isn't any more blasty than the 24" it started out at....

 

[Big Stick]

I'd slow down and look at the BIG picture.

Mainly how .25's suck.(grin)

I've had 'em in 21,22,23,24 and 26". Pass the 22" 224 Speedmire......................

 

[dakotagun]

I hear ya, Stick. It's boring, but I'm bored.

 

[Big Stick]

Tough deal,when a modest length 243 Kreedmire will scoot a .615BC at 3000fps....................

 

[dakotagun]

Umm...

Haven't you ever heard of a "Beanfield" rifle? You know, for long range deer sniping. ?

 

[Big Stick]

Got one of them too. With a .615 BC at 3000fps................(grin)

 

[dakotagun]

Finally got around to chambering last weekend. Went 24" and have enough 100 grain bullets and RL 19 to abuse it for a good while.

 

[Big Stick]

How's she doing for you?..............

 

[dakotagun]

Hoping for the Maiden Voyage this weekend. Expecting 3350 fps with 100's and RL19, which I have plenty of. 57 grains of 19 got me there quite some time ago. I expect this Bart & chamber to do it with less powder. I'm kissing a 100 nbt at 3.215 with the reamer I used. That seems shorter than the last ones I had, but I just can't remember for certain.

It's a point and shoot rig. That is for sure. I'm still excited to see how it groups.

 

[Big Stick]

Roger.

I remember such things well...............(grin)

 

[dakotagun]

Yes, that is a Craftsman YT4000 in the background. No, it's not for sale.

56.5 RL 19 & 100 nbt @ 3.200" = 3310 fps and good accuracy. I quit there. All loads shot decent aside from the first 4 sighters, which were a bit squirrely.

POI is the same with all charge weights tested. Should be a good "grab and go" rig.

 

[Big Stick]

25-06 100NBT at 3310fps grab & go. With 56.5grs powder




21" 6BR 105 Hornie HPBT at 2850fps grab & go. With 32.0grs powder(Lever').




21" 22PPC AFI 88 ELDM at 2850fps grab & go. With 27.0grs powder(Lever').






If only for conversation.



I didn't even mention the 224 Speedmire with 90 Beer Can's at 3200fps and 37.5grs of '17 in a 22"......................(grin)

 

[dakotagun]

F'n a! Quit busting my balls, bruuh. This isn't my only rifle!

My other is a 270 Winchester for windy days.
I shoot the 130 Power-Shok bullets, so the wind doesn't push the bullet off course.

 

[Big Stick]

Was shooting a tick after daylight in the leeward side this AM and was 4 Mil's of wind at 930yds with 223 88's. I'd of needed to tape another 6x MQ alongside,to shoot 100 NBT's at 3300fps in the same conditions.(grin)

The Six Twat-Six with 110 Sugars at 3300fps,slips nicely,if schleppin' a .473" L/A.



270's are THE best Donors...............(grin)

 

[dakotagun]

I'm assuming my baby brother will end up with it (the 25), as he sold me his chambered in same when we was a broke college student. If not, it'll become a saami 280 in it's next life. Thought that'll be years away at my pathetic pace over the last 18 months or so.

Just now getting back to burning powder after a summer of doing nearly zero. I've got stuff, parts to make more fun stuff, and have not had much ambition about it this past summer.

 

[dakotagun]

What program are you using?

 

[Big Stick]

The above was all JBM,which is the engine used in most things. There ain't too much in Physical Law,that is subjective.(grin)

Was shooting a coupla 280's this morning as well,one of which is THE Incredible HULK,with 180's at 2750fps.







Cheer up,I've 25'd more than anyone....................(grin)

 

[Dude270]

Every time you bring up the 6-06 I think about making one. I've got a 270 that hasn't been fired since 2012 that is just begging for the transformation.

 

[dznnf7]

22-06. 90 Grain Aluminum tips. Break some new ground!

 

[Big Stick]

The Six Twat-Six do nice thangs and easily.

I'll take the Beer Cans in 224 Speedmire and/or 22PPC AFI. Milder manners is soothing and easier on spouts,as I go through enough of 'em anyhow.

If only for conversation...224 Speedmire and Beer Cans at 3200fps,with 37.5grs of '17.




It's a fucking HAMMER......................

 

[Dude270]

I've got a 22 creed slinging 88s, just looking at some way to knock the dust off this long action sitting in the corner

 

[dakotagun]

25-06

 

[Big Stick]

EXACTLY!



Give or fucking take................(grin)
