Thanks guys.
Pretty good advice Sheister.
Whay back when I hunted wood chucks with the HB 700.
100g speer hp and 75g hornadys. Nasty. I can't even remember what powder I ran back then. Never used it on deer but know alot of people that have.

That was my idea to lighten things up some. And I had all the parts. I was looking at the 25-06 AI... I passed...
I run hot and cold on ballistic tips. Used them for years. Great accuracy but had alot of dead deer running type situations.
Mashburn. Ran 150g BT... Had two deer run over 150 yards. Switched out to a 168g hunting Berger.
Without a dought the biggest mess I've ever seen.
Disgusting. Bullet exploded. Never seen anything like that.
Switched out to the 26 Nosler and accubond. Worked well.
The 270 STW. Was a fun project. Very hard on barrels.
Dave The Ballistic Tips have worked great for me on deer in a few cartridges but I’d bet the 150 7mm and 150 270 act more like a heavier bullet. They have killed fine just in a more traditional fashion. I can’t imagine the Berger hitting up close, I’d bet that was fairly graphic. The 100 grain Ballistic Tip was pretty good at even at under a 100 yards in mine and my cousins 25-06’s a few years back. I used RL22 for those and guess I was around 3300 if I recall. Those were like a light switch for a handful of deer. I switched to the Scirocco since but only cause I wanted to, not cause the BT didn’t work. The Scirocco is like a BT that exits. If that makes sense. Good luck. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/ww233/beretzs/RIFLES/Model%2070%2025-06/3CC62C64-2EE5-4B4D-A44F-D968ED84F368_zpsv5efx1ip.jpg) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/ww233/beretzs/RIFLES/Model%2070%2025-06/.highres/25-06_zps4itv8ujf.jpg) 58 and 58.6 shoot pretty well in mine. Now looking at my targets, I really need to get this one back into the fold! I,d say so. That thing is working. I'm going to start with Rel 23 and Rel 26. See how that works. Dave

Dave I do remember working up an acceptable load for 75 Grain Hornady HP's. The things those bullets did to rock chucks sunning themselves on rocks at long range was something to behold... we called it showing them how to be astronauts... Bob

I picked it up today.
Randy shot this group at 100 yards yesterday just checking the chamber out.
There was one shot at 25 yards to check the zero on the scope. And then the 3 at 100.
Shots 2,3 and 4 . The very first rounds fired down the tube.
Into a .560 nice.
Turns out ,56.5 of MRP and the 115g BT is his pet load.
I Don't think it's going to take alot to find a decent load....

Looks good. I am using MRP, R26 in mine for 100-117 gr. bullets, R16 for 85 grain bullets and just because I have it I load 120s with AA8700.
Beretz's load looks to be maximum at 58 grains as the velocity drops above that but hard to say with a single string. That rifle and cartridge should be easy to load for.

RL-22, hands down, but MRP is a near dupe of that performance wise.
The newer '23 or '26 might bring something more to the table, but my loads work fine & I have no desire to work up new loads as long as '22 & MRP are available & I have good supplies of both.
For lighter bullets, RL-19 is a tad better than '22 & H4350 is also good if you have it.

Dave Not a big fan of Berger’s on game either, had one blow up on pigs shoulder that was caught in a pen. It knocked her down, she got up, went back to eating corn like nothing had happened. This was a 264 Win Mag at 70 yds.

MM Agree, MRP is a RL-22 dupe, some say it's a more refined version with less lot to lot variation. Don't know about that. I'm using up my RL-22, replacing it with RL-23. I do have a big jug of MRP, so I'm in good shape for the time being. MRP is also a great Swede powder, mine likes the 139 Scenar over MRP, in Lapua brass... DF
