86gr .25-35 loads

Post by Slick13 »

Midway has Remington 86gr. 25-20 bullets on sale so I picked up two boxes. Plan on loading them for my .25-35 Win. Any advice on powders and starting loads? Also, there's two crimping grooves on the Rem bullet.... which one should I use? The one that makes the overall cartridge length shorter or the one that makes it longer?

Thanks,

~Michael

Using the lower cannelure will give correct overall length for feeding through the levergun. I use it too but my gun is a single-shot and I do it more to get that bullet out towards the rifling. The nose end cannelure is for the .25-20 cartridge. I shoot mine over 8-10 gr. of IMR SR-4759 for around 1100-1400 fps. I'm intending for these to be my small game load for the gun and to use the same sight setting as with my 117 gr. RN load.
Sincerely,
