I recently bought some of the new 70g Blitzkings to try out. After putting my inputs into Quickload, it showed that 3900 fps was possible around a max load of RL17. I therefore loaded up a quick ladder starting 10% below listed max charge and worked up in 2% charge increments. I was rewarded with the following when I approached max. ![[Linked Image]](http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x159/kyreloader/Targets/70gBlitzking.jpg) I shot a ladder, and it looked like the -2%, max, and +2% charges all grouped nicely together. I plan to load more around that area and see what shakes out. This load may be hell on crows and groundhogs this summer.

That is bad ass!
75grainers @ 3,600-3,700fps are hell on everything. Can't wait to see what these do for you.

I have a 25/06 barrel that is a Savage Take off... for the longest time, I have waivered back and forth trying to figure out whether to change it to a 257 Roberts, or leave it the 25/06..
well Kyreloader, you have just made up my mind!
thanks!
I see some 70 grain Sierras in my future...
