My introduction & 7x64 reloads

[A Guy Out West]

Oregon hey, from what I hear it's a beautiful place. Yeah that 25-06 and I go way back, I feel bad if I go off for a hunt without it. It's an old school Savage 110, with a mag and can also be top loaded, a great hunting rifle. The 30-06 goes well for knocking pigs on their asses though

Yes, Oregon is one of the most beautiful states. Don’t know why those photos ended up sideways??? Sorry.

Looks hard to take, will put that on our list of places to visit It's much the same here but without the conifers, snow capped mountains and bears, definitely no bears, lol

New to this forum but I have a Scultz & Larsen in 7x64. I bought it in 2017 and I have shot TTSX 150 gr with a bunch of Norma MRP (hot load), and the precision in that load is prefect.
Now the authorities have lowered the requirements for bullet weight from 139 gr to 120 gr for copper bullets for class 1 (fellow, red deer, boars, moose, bear) in Sweden. and I thought I would test TSX 120 gr in the caliber.
I realize that Norma 204, Norma MRP and VV N160 are a bit too slow. What is recommended to ligher bullets? Norma 203-B, Norma URP, VV N550?

In Sweden we just have Norma and Vithavouri powders. Some hunting stores have other varieties but that is unusual.

I never loaded 120’s but good good results with 140’s with N550 and N560

Hi all, thank you for allowing me to join. I frequently search the web for reloading tips and often come across posts on this forum regarding similar topics. My name is Brett, from a small town in southern Queensland, Australia. I mainly help out farmers in western and south western Qld, hunting wild pigs and feral cats, both quite a nuisance in this country. I'd love to get into hunting deer but opportunities are a bit limited here so pigs it is. My favourite cartridges are the 25-06 and 30-06, I've also recently purchased a nice Sako 85 in 7x64 so working on better loads for that. I'm using PPU cases but finding early signs of pressure with minimum loads of 2209/h4350. I measured the cases the other night, coming in at around 63gns of water which I believe is low compared to others. If anyone has any information on other case capacity I'd love to hear it, my other limited choices are Norma and S&B, thanks in advance!

I've loaded Norma which is more consistent at 68gn's, & Geco which ranges from 66.1 - 66.7gn's,
