My son and I are both shooting 120 grain in our 25-06's, so far weve just been buying Remington core-lokt from our local gun store.

Weve decided to take up reloading ( as a kid my dad and i reloaded everything so i have the how to experience) so we can go more often and have more all around fun. one trip just to our local gun spot proves there are a lot more choices out there for bullets and powder than i ever had and at 26.00 +a box for them (im talking bullets mostly) id like to know whats a good choice to start with. I dont know how many, if any, of you use this caliber but any advice on loads for this would be very welcome.

also our local gun spot is pretty expensive in almost everything. is there a good place to get this stuff online? where i can go order bullets, powder, primers ect.. all at the same place?

thanks a ton.

Midwayusa.com is a good web site that has everything. However buying powder and primers on line will cost you an extra $25 for shipping. Another good place is gunbroker.com, it is an ebay for everything gun related.

The hazmat fee is for primers and powder, so you want to order a good quantity at one time, or pool with a friend if possible. Midway is a good source for all your supplies, including powder and primers but you might want to buy those locally. Just watch the prices as some dealers are starting to raise prices and gouge their customers.
