Curious to hear if anyone is shooting the 75 grain Hornady Vmax bullet, and if so how are you loading it (powder) I know how to load it,

In the '70's, I used IMR4895 behind a Hornady 75gr HP,
pushing it at 3300fps. Don't recall how many grains, but it
was the accuracy load in the '75 Hornady Reloading manual.
It was accurate for me, too.........any prairie dog within
300yds of my rifle was in real big trouble! ;D
Lately, one person said he had a real zinger load using 51gr
Reloader 15 with the 75gr VMax. I backed that off to 48gr
and got 3/4" groups. (I believe 51gr would have to be
pressed........not for me!)

I haven't tried any of the lighter bullets in my new T/C encore barrel in 25/06 but I believe when I get around to it I believe it is going to be a shooter.First time I took it to the range the only bullet I got less than an inch was a hornady 120,using R-25. I want to check out the lighter soon so I would be interested in both the best bullet and load to try Too. Shot the 120 last week and four straight 3-shot groups was one inch and less one was exactly 1/2 in @ 300 yds. Went back this past tues and was going to try a 5 shot group at 300 but when I got to the range I didn't have but 4 bullets,the group measuered 1.076,that pretty good for a break down ,factory rife.  |
