Details, Dave, details.

If there's a new .25 wilcat, I wanna know about it.

Good to see you, btw. Lost track of you there for a while.

Dave-

Congratulations on making a nice shot on a target that doesn't offer a very large vital area.

I haven't been around much the past few months, so this is the first post I see regarding your barrel. How about a bit on info on it?

Bobby,

Good to see you back. 27" Douglas 10 twist. Not much to report from the reloading bench as I have only just started. Working with both Lapua and Winchester brass. The Lapua will form the shoulder fine but some of the Win is denting below the shoulder. Looks like I will have to anneal it prior to running it throught the custom sizing die. Only tried two powders and one bullet so far. 100 grain NoslerBt will average just over 3300fps over 52 grains of RL-19 and Fed 210M primers. Looks like it will be accurate if this loose nut behind the trigger will tighten up. This is the very first load and group out of the rifle:





Appears that 3400fps with 100grn pills is going to be about max for this setup. I exceeded that by about 60fps Sat.with some H4350 but got into some pressure signs.

This fine fellow was mousing in the field beside the house this afternoon. He gave me enough time to take a solid rest on a round bale. He was standing broadside and I held the crosshairs of the 16x set Weaver on his upper shoulder. At the shot he took a few jumps and expired. The 100grn. Nosler took him low chest at what I later lasered to be 309yds.
