Dave JenkinsRe: 25-06 Barnes Triple Shock range results.
Nice! Got any Rl-19 to try? not that you need it but i would be interested in what type of results you could get. Do be careful though...has been my exp with 25 cals that primers would show pressure affects before extractor marks showed up. That is going to be an awesome game bullet...Ive had great success with the XBTs and cant wait to try the TSXs

Dr. LouBe careful with IMR 4831 and the 25-06. Myself and others at the range have had a lot of pressure problems with that combo. I was using 52 grs, 115 gr. NBTs and large rifle primers and blew a couple of primers out of the pocket. All the other rounds in the batch (50) were fine. All loads were individually weighed. No other signs of pressure. Lou
