Yeah. They would probably be gaining velocity again as they fell from the sky.Quote:

6BR holds many group records at 600yds but it suffers badly in the wind past there compared to bigger chamberings.
I could stick my ATAC-R on it and easily get to 1000 but wind's always gonna be the problem.
I'd be much better off past 600 with my 6x47L driving the 105s but they aren't as explosive as the 87 V-Maxs. The 105 Hybrids out of the 47 are about 7mins flatter to 800 than the 87s out of the BR and they drift over 3.5mins less in the wind. It'd only be greater at 1000.
It was very calm (if not warm) down in Central Hawkes Bay this afternoon but the number of targets was very low. We saw a total of seven rabbits where we would normally see 20-30. The RCD has really dealt to them. I got two of the three I shot at, the closest being 257yds. Was surprised I got them as the zero was guessed a bit.. The 87 V-Maxs sure do the biz- a "pest bird" was completely gutted at 220yds, not a lot left ..
Had time yesterday to test out the new to me 2506 that I purchased off @300_BLK . Gotta say I am pretty happy with it! These 3 shots were off a bag at 100m with hand loaded HPBT. Cheers mate!

Not mine obviously but didn't think it should be anywhere else except this thread.
I want one
Nice @Mintie, she is a shooter and won't be the last 25-06 I own. Now get some blood on it!

[QUOTE=grunzter;623204]That's a replica. There was one for sale on face book a while back in mint condition for 5kQuote:

How does she get on with the numerous other mistresses?
She is being looked after by another Valmet 308 big brother, as all the AR's were getting a bit bitchy...Quote:

Yeah. 30 06 seems nicer to shoot. Could be because I'm using a heavy WWI surplus to shoot them.Quote:

So, after eight and half months I have now had my Sako fetish fix for 2017.
2017 seemed like a good year to get a rifle in this calibre for some reason? Undecided on optics at the moment.
Will have to be European?Quote:

Also, I tried R17 and 168 grn Noslers in my 20" 300saum today - went straight to 3100 fps and.75 moa. Pleased.
That's good velocity from a 20" barrel @Tahr.
Yep they are good, quieter on the wsm than the hushpower one was I had, holding up well in the wsm, yep id recommend - well am happy with mine. I've know Greg since I've started hunting, he does my fluteing etc- told me he had these new model out so I bought a couple off him.Quote:

Tell him he needs to work on his bedside manner. I called him once to ask about a build and it was like talking to a rockQuote:
