It's Home
 

A few weeks ago I wandered into wss and browsed the used gun counter and there she was, a Sako finnbear in 25-06. Had the boys put it away in back until I could convince the wife that I must have it. Well I brought it home yesterday, thanks honey:). Will go try her out next weekend with some factory stuff, then work up hand loads. Gonna try 110 accubonds. Any powder recommendations?

I use IMR 4350 for my 2506. IMR 4831 should work well too.

Sounds like yaa found a great rifle,new firearm= Happy times:sHa_shakeshout:
enjoy your new Toy !!!!!

I'm trying out 110 grain accubonds and IMR 4350 because I use it in the .30-06.

If I didn't have 4350, I would first be trying 4831SC

Looked in the powder mag, have imr4350,4831,7828,4064,hodgdon 4831sc 870,reloader 19,22 and winchester 760. Something outta work, just wish I had the time or a place close to home for test firing, still have 338wm,300 weatherby loads to test from a year ago.:angry3:

I have a Finnbear in the 270 cal. and it is a tack driver. You can load hot bullets and the rifle will take it. Congrats on a fine product!! :)

I have two 25-06 rifles one a Sako as well,both seem to like R22

WOW...Nice gun!! Congrats!!..Man, You sure got a good wife there!!..:love0025:.only took a "few" weeks to get her to come around!!..:sHa_shakeshout:....I usually have to work out a pre-nup..:test:..and I have a 6 month probation period!!:sHa_sarcasticlol:....J/K

I use Hodgdon H-4831 for my 25-06. i have heard IMR 4831 works good too

Well , city livin isn't conducive to precision shooting. Spent 2 days monkeyin with this gun, used the truck hood for a platform during crappy weather. My shooting form isn't what it used to be. But when I pointed this gun in the right direction when it went bang it put the bullet where it was supposed to. Need to build a bench and find a place to shoot.:mad0100: Then try for some groups.

Your not supossed to use those left over Liberal campaign signs as targets eh? Even if they leave them on the post for 4yrs at a time.

:bad_boys_20:

Give you a call next time i plan for some range time. I got some factory loads for that gun I got to give you to.

Look forward to it Cooter.

RE 19 and 22 have worked well for me in 25/06.
