Varmint weight cartridge in deer gun
I finally think that i'm going to get a 25-06 as my new gun this spring. My reasoning is that i believe i will get more use out of a 25-06 with shooting deer, range time, coyotes and woodchucks over a 270 wsm that i would use only on deer and a possible future elk hunt. (but that may just give me an excuse to get another rifle in the future)
Here is my question. I've read on the sight about the pros and cons of each but being interested in shooting coyotes or chucks i believe a 75 or 80 grain v-max bullet would be best. However, i don't seem to find themreally anywhere around me. 1. would it pay to have a gun shop near me order acase or a few boxes or should i travel to say cabelas or bass pro shop (i live on long island new york) to pick me up a bunch of boxes
2.where can i find these rounds. (youcannot order ammunition through the mail in New york)

RE: Varmint weight cartridge in deer gun
A real basic setup is a couple hundred bucks. Just wondering if it would be possible to get components shipped and make the ammunition yourself. It's not rocket science . . . well, in some ways it might seem like it. I think there are some videos on the subject if you can't find someone to show you how. It can even be done in an apartment. The tough part sounds like trying to find a place to test the loads once you assemble them.

Here's an outfit in New York. I don't know if they'd be able to do what you want, but perhaps they could give youi some useful information. Looks like they have at least one .25/'06 load - a 100-grainer.
