    .25 Creed! But Why?

    For shooting steel at longer distances, I’d rather have the 25 than the 6mm for bc and bigger bullet splash. Benefit compared to 6.5 is less recoil.

    P_ham does it again.

    Ok. Have finished load development. Here are the main bullets and thoughts for those it can help or interested. Found two good loads each shooting better that I can. .25 to .35” three shot groups. I’ll dig up some picks and post later. Load 1 is H1000 with CCI LR Primer, 133 gr berger. 3180...

    Powders question

    Pull the factory round and try to determine the powder. Likely a ball powder.

    Are butter-smooth actions overrated?

    I don’t think smooth vs other matters as much as other mechanical aspects. I got into rifles later in life and started with a little Howa 308. It was a shooter. Have since owned REM 700, savage 110, Ruger 77, Browning, Fierce (sako inspired design) and Defiance. There is definitely a difference...

    Man, you made me chuckle. Agree on Benedikt.

    243 powder recommendation?

    Same here. 3031 shoots great in my daughters 243 with 22” barrel. 4831 was also accurate but had a flame thrower flash due to slower burn and shorter barrel
