If you were to work up a load with 100 grain corlokt psp in a .25-06 would you feel comfortable changing to 100 grain nosler partitions with the same charge without working up?

I'm looking at Mcmillian stocks and like the swirl pattern but I'm also looking at a few paint patterns. How well do the paint patterns hold up? Even a solid paint color? How much abuse or years do they need to see before its time to repaint them?

I like my .22 but the hell with it, way too boring.

I love guns too - buy new ones, and go back to the old ones... but I always buy more new ones... Is something wrong with me? I would replace the 7600 with the new model of the same line! I think it is the 760?

What do you guys think of this cartridge? What can I expect for barrel life? Recoil similar to a .30-06? Anything else? Should I go with the standard .280? If so why? I refuse to jump to the 7mm rem mag

Better than any toy gun I played with!

Just shot 3" no.2 7/8oz load @1550 - On a newspaper 2'x2' or so I got 89 hits @30 yards. About 70%, nice spread, evenly distributed. Going to shoot a few more to get a better average. Estimated that there are about 125 pellets or so in this load - how many hits should I have in a 36"...

Well thing is I'm only going out for one weekend this year... Currently I only have a 20 gauge that is rated for steel. I only want one or two geese and then I'll be calling it quits for this year's season which is why I want to make due with the 20... I'll be getting a very nice 12 gauge in 8...

I did consider that as I know those give really tight patterns - Only problem I see is that a lot of guys use smaller shot like 6. Would hevi shot 6 work good? I'm thinking I need hevi shot in size 4's would be ideal which I tried but my patterns are literally so bad that I could miss a goose...

I've been trying to find a good factory goose load for my 20 gauge... but really I don't know how many pellets or what kind of density I need. Can you guys post pictures of your patterns that you feel are acceptable and good out to ___ range. I tried patterning heavy shot #4's - 2 3/4"...

Is a pictinanny (sp) rail a full length weaver style mount? If not what do you perfer along with the Leupold dual dovetail or STD mounts? I just got my first weaver style mounts today and I love the ease of use with the weaver style mounts as they just fix in place. I was using Burris...

It's hard to answer what bulk is best when you don't list nearly all the types of bulk. I like first the Federal Champion bulk in the blue box of 525. I then like Winchester Dynapoints and the Winchester Box of 333. I'll then take the Winchester Xpert box of 550. I shoot with iron sights...

I keep hearing about the accubond/interbond - what about rem's ultrabonded? How is it for consistency/price compared to nosler and hornady? Does it hold together as well? I'm looking for a good bonded bullet for my .25-06.

They did a test somewhere sometime... and found faster is better - I beleive it was between the .223 ad 308 - maybe the military versions... idk, anyways it was found that the .223 penetrates thicker metal... I've always believed that Rem Thunderbolts hit the hardest, I wonder what they would...

my advice is use the accubond for elk - the sst is more comparable to the ballistic tip which would be great for mulies. As for powder use any of the many that have a good track record in the .308.
