Weatherby 2506 best factory load
Question:
You might want to try Federal Premium with 115 grain Trophy Bond Bear Claw, or any of the other Federal Premium in this caliber. My 3006 vangard liked the hornady custom ammo too! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ——Original Message—– >Hello, >I’ve had a Weatherby Vanguard 2506, circa 1970, that for the life of >me I can NOT get to shoot under 1.5 inches (tried free float and full >bed).

The Federal Premium ammo is usually a good bet. The Nosler Ballistic Tip is an accurate bullet that has done particularly well in my guns when loaded in Federal Premium ammo. The Federal Premium 25-06 loading of the 100 grain ballistic tip gave me 0.75" groups and 3200 FPS. In my opinion, the Federal Premium loadings use better (more consistent) brass and primers than Remington. I suspect they also have better quality control and consistency on powder charges.

I hand load for my remington. But if you must use factory stuff I recommend plain jane Federal Hi Shocks. They always grouped better than the premium stuff. I used both the 100 grain and the 120’s. The performance on Antelope at 200 plus yards was adequate. Scott Kimball – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> The Federal Premium ammo is usually a good bet.

Mort, I believe B&L will clean and repair your scope. >I would appreciate any information/comments on two subjects: >I have a Rochester B & L variable scope that needs some cleaning on the >internal lenses. Sources?

Hello, I’ve had a Weatherby Vanguard 2506, circa 1970, that for the life of me I can NOT get to shoot under 1.5 inches (tried free float and full bed). Years ago tried handloading with NO success. Can anyone recommend a Premium factory load that may perform better??? Tried Rem 2506 100 Nosler BT, got 1.5 group.

Response:
Check the muzzle crown. Perhaps you have a bad crown that is limiting the firearm. I three 2506 and all of them shoot well. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

I would appreciate any information/comments on two subjects: I have a Rochester B & L variable scope that needs some cleaning on the internal lenses. Sources? Soon, its off to Alaska for some really cold weather hunting. While moly seems adequate in our Nevada climate year round, what sub-zero lubricants work?
