Speer Handloading Manual, Before #15

[Sako'06]

(25-06 load question)

Please, if anyone has a Speer manual that lists a 120 grain Grand Slam and willing to share I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for their published COAL.

Website and manual #15 does not have that bullet listed.

Thank you

That’s from manual 14. My dad shot a bunch of deer with 120 gs in a 25-06

Thanks folks - hopefully I can repay the favor.

I never realized the 25-06 did so well with the slower powders.

Number 12 just for good measure

Kind of scratching my head in that one too.

Nobody rush out and buy RL-25. It's temp sensitive. Besides, I need it all. mtmuley

In all truth, yeah it's overbore and pretty much acts like a magnum in that regard. I loaded 115s-130s with Retumbo (when I had my fast twist 25-06) and my buddy uses RL26 for 90s

Who has a No. 8?

Show me lucky No. 6??

Yep overbore as nhenry says and from what I've what I've gathered, slower powders seem to come into play with a longer barrel/heavy bullet combo.

If I find some V170 I may give that a try, it's between H4831 and H1000.

I think it's great the older manuals are getting some play.
