Thread: New (to me) chambering

My last one liked 100 and 115 Nosler BTs, 117 Hornady SSTs and 100 TTSX. 100 BTs caused huge meat damage at anything under 200m but much less with the 115s.

Factory twists are too slow for anything past 120 grains.

Enjoy yours.

I had trouble with mine, bullet blow ups or pass throughs. Anyway i asked Greg Duley for his thoughts ( he had built a 25/284 ) and have used 110 gr accubonds ever since. I think the Swift Scirroco'c would go well to. 2506 needs a harder bullet to handle the higher velocity. Slightly slower kills than the 270 but very easy to hit stuff with it
