    Hi guys, I have a T3 lite stainless synthetic in 25-06. The gun shot under one inch almost all the time, but every once in a while it would shoot a flyer an inch out of the group. I took the stock off of the action and found out the gun is not free floated, there is a small pressure point about half way. After removing the pressure point I have had no flyers yet 20 shots later.
    Hunting load is 100 grain TTSX, 57grains RL22, Federal 215 primers, Win brass.

    Good luck this fall guys, I hope this helped.

    Here is the low down boys. The first load I tried was 56 grains RL 22 with a 100 grain Sierra .010″ from rifling C.O.L. 3.142″ once fired winchester brass neck sized only with federal 215 primers at 3130 FPS. 3 shot group size was 1.100, the forth shot opened it up to 1.500″. The three shot group was a nice triangle. If there is such a thing as a nice 1.5 inch group this one was nice not stringing verticaly or horizontaly all in a bunch.
    I also tried 52 grains H4350 again but swithced primers from a C.C.I. 250 to federal 215group size went from 1.75 to 1.0, I guess primers do make a differance. F.P.S. was 3150
    Both loads grouped pretty much the exact same.
    When I have a hunting load worked up with 100 grain TTSX I'll let you guys know how it goes. Looking forward to hearing what other load combinations work. Talk to you later.

    Hi Jimmy, Load development looked good to start with. 47 grains of IMR 4350 at around 2900 fps with Nosler ballistic tip keeps groups under .500″. My goal is to have Barnes 100 grain TTSX at around 3200 with groups under 1.25″. 52 grains of H4350 at 3130 fps with 100 grain sierra's group an averave of 1.750″ velocity is good but accuracy is not acceptable. My next plan is to try some H4831 with100 grain Sierra's. I will keep you guys updated.
