This thread is dangerous for my new .25-06. I just bought a box of 85gr BTs yesterday with the plan to go for the most (accurate and safe) speed I can get for hold-on-hair coyote hunting. But I've spent hours studying ballistic tables and the lineup of slippery 6.5 bullets available, and know there are more efficient ways to burn 60grs of powder.

I'll be watching for your future posts Ridgecoat, and learn along with you.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
