Ask P.O. I’m sure he’d have a good idea.

Let’s see, how could you “improve” that 25-06?

Not gonna happen to this one unless I just got a smoking deal on dies

Don’t think I’m satisfied with it yet. Think I will bump down to 54 or 54.5 and try again. SD of 16 and avg of 3467 (5 shots) with 55gr of H4350. #5 definitely could have been me pulling it but who knows. The gun is easily capable of better

Man, I think I'd shoot the load for groups again. SD of 16 isn't terrible and I'd have expected the Hammers to group well under 0.9MOA unless you had something weird going on with neck tension for that one round.

I shot another group of 5 over the chrono that I kind of just threw out since it’s a magnetospeed attached the barrel, but it was .75”. Really need to invest in a garmin or athlon

I need to make the Garmin leap also...so slick.

Bunch of folks seem to think the Athlon has it beat: https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/athlon-chrono.329334/

Would definitely be an upgrade over my Labradar but adding an inertia trigger to it has really helped with reliability.

Being a leftie, I love that rifle. .25-06 is also loved by myself. That Defiance LH action is awesome. Ordered 2 Tenacity Arms LH in 7PRC & 300 PRC. Still waiting on them. Keep us informed on load development.

Sounds like you need a 25-7PRC to complete the set, now.

Great specs on that beautiful firearm!! I might have to try those hammers in my Rugar 25-06.

Guy that I shoot with has a Shot Marker.
Really nice piece of gear!!
Not only gives you shot placement, but velocity at distance also.

Now to find the $800 in the couch cushions...

Beautiful gun! I've always wanted a 25-06. Had an older Rem700 that I was going to re-barrel to a 25-06 but got talked into making it a 280AI. Zero regrets but man I still look at the 25-06 a lot.

I purchased an athlon chrono about a month ago. About 300 rounds through it now, I like it a lot. I feel like it still has some degree of day to day variation in velocity on bright days vs overcast days but haven't had any of those wtf readings like I had with the ProChrono I had been using.
