I used to work with/for a guy that loaded 25-06 ammo by pouring an equal amount of IMR4350 and IMR4831 into a bowl and scooping into the cases up to the neck then seating a bullet. His comment was that the 700 actions were 'too strong to fail with his mixture'. I'd do like RinB and stand behind and to his left when he shot. Flame would shoot out of the muzzle a good 6-8' when he shot.
He gave me some shells once, I took them home and used the powder for fertilizer. The bullets had been pushed out a bit so that maybe a 10th of an inch was all that was holding them in. Some could be pulled with your fingers.
