Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 25/06 and barnes tsx and ttsx

I'm planning on picking up a pound of that H100V powder and picking up so 80's, 100's TTSX's and some 100 grain SSII's and see what the powder and the loads do. Finding the time to do it all has been an issue for me as of late.
What primers are you guys using?

TTT. Interesting thread.

And old.

Yep but useful for those wanting information on this bullet and its performance without starting a new thread.

That 25-06 shooting 100gr TTSX's is what I have been using to shoot caribou the last couple of years. I use Retumbo in one of mine and H4350 in the other.

Are you seeing significantly higher velocities with Retumbo over 4350 running those 100's?

I can't speak for the 110's, but my rifle (cooper) shoots 120 Nosler partitions at 3100+ fps and cuts holes with 55gr of retumbo and federal 210 match primers.

Well knock on wood and I may be about to jinx myself but I've shot Whitetails with Barnes TTSX in .308 WIN, 7-08, .243, 25-06, and a 50 cal muzzleloader. Other than one spine shot with the 25-06 every single deer has been shot back thru the ribs and run about 25 yards and piled up in a heap
Then when you cut them open you wonder how they made it 25 yards. I've heard the stories about them not expanding, but I get a perfect quarter sized exit everytime so far.

I cant say that I am, the accuracy is just way good in one of my 25-06's using Retumbo. When I tried it in my other one, it did not like the Retumbo but did like the H4350. I get approx 100 fps better w/ Retumbo. HOWEVER, the one I use RT in is a custom and the other is an XCR II. Not sure if the Broughton barrel has anything to do w/ that.
