Tried the 100gr triple shocks out for the first time Saturday in my 25-06. Factory Stock Ruger SST MkII with 24" free floated barrel. nickle brass, federal large magnum match primers. cartridge OAL 3.14, all are 3 shot groups Results: IMR 4350 52 gr 3355 fps .80 group (group was 1.3 at 54grains and 3480 gps) IMR 4831 (wow) 54gr 3452 fps .34 group (only load tried with this powder) H4831sc 56gr 3422 fps 1.6 group (only load tried with this powder) Didn't have any fouling issues. Last groups shot were the best of the day. I would say Barnes has a winner in these Triple Shock bullets, they are much more accurate in this rifle than either the x bullets or the xlc bullets were. | ||

fyi--I ran your loads past quick load. It "guesses" those loads to be at least 150 fps slower than you got. All I can say is keep an eye out for pressure signs. You could be getting somewhat "turbo'd" by the use of mag primers, perhaps slightly reduced case capacity with the nicket cases, and a fast barrel. At any rate that's really "smokin". Like I said maybe keep an eye out for pressure. I have some loaded but haven't shot them yet Some users of the triple x seem to be reporting increased velocity without apparent pressure signs BUT--being that they are new and everything please keep a eye out for signs like loose prime pockets etc. Good luck--you cetainly shouldn't need the .25 wsm when it comes out!!!!!!!!!! | |||

Kraky, I do have a fast barrel. There were no signs of pressure with these loads. In fact I am going to add half a grain to the very accurate load just to get it to 3500fps. I will take your advice and keep an eye out for the loose primer pockets. I normally use the appearance extractor marks on the base as my guide for high pressure and reduce accordingly when they start to show up. Never had a problem using this pressure detection method. | |||
