Love 25-06

Me too! Definitely my favorite caliber/cartridge.

Good stuff Dave!! ❤❤

Mornin' CW.

[@usafret4709]

You are humble Dave. I appreciate that. You are definitely not average.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks but I miss allot of varmints at distance. I haven't been consistent with the fundamentals.

[@usafret4709]

@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 You are still above average my friend.

[@scottm7365]

Good Stuff, Strohmeyer! Great caliber!

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Yes, it is my personal favorite.

[@jagrench62]

The folks that messed with the 25-06 found it could be moved to magnum status with IMR 4831 and 26" barrels. I have owned a couple over the years a still have one fine caliber. Popular here in PA believe it or not.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Agree. Thanks for watching.

[@nicholasbarcomb2324]

Trying to get some decent accuracy out of 117 gr BTSP in my Remington 700 SPS. If this next next set doesn't work out, just picked up some 117 gr SSTs. Powders used have been IMR4350, IMR4831, VV N550, and VV N165. Haven't been able to get below 1 1/4" groups @ 100 yds. Good luck and stay safe!!! 😉😉😉

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

I too wasn't able to get good results with 117's so I went to the 110's and both speed and accuracy improved allot. Best wishes on your future results.

Who needs a 257 weatherby with those velocities. Love your shooting form!

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks Sandy for your comment here.

Made me smile... Most of my deer catching was done with string and sticks... and yep the fundamentals disappear when the ghost of the forest appears in front of your stand.. great content

Very True! Thanks for watching.

Some nice groups for sure and good velocities

Howdy Dave! Great groups...that's a fine shooter with some great reloads! Take care!

Hello Ken. 25-06 is a deer and antelope getter for sure.

Great shootin! Brownells finally got 25-06 mauser barrels back in stock and been sorely tempted! this dont help me check my spending :)

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

HaHa! Good luck on your future purchase(s).

[@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699]

Great shooting Dave. The 25-06 has a following for sure. I use RL22 in my 264 win mag but it has been very hard to find recently. Thanks for another great video

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks Chris. Yes RL22 works well for my magnums also. I wish I knew what is up with Alliant powders shortages.

[@carlwilliams6300]

Love that 25-06 my favorite also love the videos you put out there you sir no doubt are a hand loader that knows his stuff and I’m sure you are above average shootin and huntin 👍

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks Carl for the kind words. When it comes to Varmints at distance, I do miss allot.

[@carlwilliams6300]

What is your farthest shot so far at any game varments and or big game

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

@@carlwilliams6300 Sad to say in my younger and dumber years, 850yds on an Buck Antelope with a 300 Win Mag. It was a lucky shot. With the 25-06 a good sized Muley Buck @480 yds.

[@harryodell9497]

Not bad. My savage 110 does 1" at 200.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

1 inch at 200 yards is indeed exceptional. Thanks for watching.

Good Morning Dave!!! Think you got a Winner there!! RL-22 great powder I use it in 243win.with 105gr. pills. Fun thing is at the time I'm watching this I'm loading 170gr. Speer Hot Core in 8x57 Mauser! Have a Great day Dave!!!

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

HaHa! As the saying goes, "Great minds think alike." Best wishes for your handloading results.

[@dyouden]

My 25-06 loves the Speer 120 grand slam with IMR4350. Puts them in just over half an inch and slightly over 3000 fps

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Yes, that is a good combination indeed.

[@bobcatforever3485]

Dave. Another good video with great shooting. Very nice SD's. I tend to get a pretty wide spread. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@TonyMarasco-j6e]

I am a 25/06 user as well. I have taken elk and moose with my mods 700. Still shoots bugholes. I would like to see a comparison of bottleneck lever action rifles. Box magazine type I have a few, they are great horseback and don't give up much to a turnbolt in the accuracy department. Browning chambers them in some pretty high intensity rounds, so does Henry. Savage , Winchester and others in the past also have. (MIROKU does now)

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks for your comments here. Lever action rifles with box mags seem to be making a choice among many hunters.

[@michealsmith4465]

Reloader 22 and 23 is good powder but hard to find and about 100 dollars a pound

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Fortunately, I use these powders in only a few rifles, so my existing supply will last awhile.

[@henrymoreland8719]

Old school=good school, in this instance.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Agree, newer doesn't necessarily mean "better."

[@mountainsintomemories]

I’m getting 3,300fps with Barnes 100 ttsx and magpro powder. Really nice accuracy as well. My rifle does like Re22 but I’ve run out of it.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Glad you found your recipe that works well for you.

51.5 - 53.0 gns. in my rifle only. Start low and work up cautiously. Thanks for watching.

Have you used the Hot Core to take any animals? I'm thinking of using them for antelope. I've always used Sierra's before.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Not the "Hot Cor" But I have used the Grand Slams with great success.

[@lenniephillips9747]

Great shooting, Browning rifles usually are accurate. The rest of this comment is more concerning your last video. I find that the magneto speed tends to walk regardless of the barrel, so I normally wrap some electrical tape around the barrel to give the chronograph more traction. However, the thumb nut still needs to be cranked hard when shooting 300WM

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Agree and thanks for your comment here.

[@gascheck8151]

I bought one of these and just hate it for the same reason. Slops all over the place. Bad buy.

[@jagrench62]

"When regular cores slip, hot cores grip".

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Good slogan. Thanks for watching.

[@gavindonnelly4767]

The 25-06 is a timeless performer. It's nice to see someone working with the 100 grain pills. One of the few calibers that can go from varmints to Elk. Last note is you have the habit of immediately putting your trigger finger in the trigger guard after you chamber the round and before you have your head down on the rifle and on target. Not a great practice. Feel free to delete the comment after you read it. It is meant to be constructive criticism.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks for watching. Finger in the trigger guard yes, finger on the trigger no, until tready to shoot. Just my preference.

[@kfelix2934]

Q: So with the RL22 and 23 do you see any difference in how they fall in your power dispenser? I tried loading. 25-06 in spent corboin DPX cases and notice the charges were not consistence. I was using a RCBS poweder-flow or what it was called back then.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Can't answer that, because I do not use a powder dispenser. I hand (Lee dipper) and weigh each load.

[@aronkoppold3981]

I don't know anyone that pays attention to trigger pull when they are hunting

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Agree, unless it becomes a good habit on a stationary animal target and not confused with shotgun bird hunting.
