Thank you for the picture. So, are you saying that all 141 ramps were soldered on? Or could there have been a period when they were machined? And what do you say about 14 ramps? And the under lugs? I have not messed with those. For future reference, how hot did you have to get it? That is, was it so...

You can attach your pictures to this thread by using the browse button near the bottom of the scroll page. Maybe others would also like to see your front sight.

I ground one off a 141. There was no seam. I would like to see that picture.

The 6x48s will cross thread into the hole because they are undersized. Better to get the correct ones here: http://www.aperturesnmore.com/category.sc?categoryId=31

The front sight ramp is machined on the barrel, not soldered on. You cant knock it off.

Tang sight screws are 0.140x44tpi. A 6x48 screw is smaller (.130 shaft).

Good idea on the front sight. And even better eyes! FWIW. That 75gr load is right at an OBT (1.20ms) in a 22in barrel (which I presume you have). QL estimates 2770fps at 30,000psi. Very nice. I will have to try that as a single shot load in the Mo 14. That H75 really is an excellent bullet. In my sc...

I see that RCBS has a bullet mold for a flat nose 100 grain 25caliber bullet. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=111702&utm_source=bizrate&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=632 What do you think that bullet would do in the 25 Model 14? It would probably work OK if your bore i...

Regarding driving oneself nuts experimenting: Experimenting is like therapy for me. I would go nuts if I couldn’t experiment. On the other hand, disassembling and reassembling Mo 14s every day would drive me nuts. To each their own. Regarding 25Rem data in manuals: As I explained in my earlier writi...

My 30-S Express really likes the Hornady 75 grain HP and IMR 3031. I haven't had it out for quite a few years and your posting has given me incentive to start shooting it again. I have made all my brass by turning the rims on 30-30 cases. I form and trim them to 25 Rem first and then do the rim by ...

Oh, here is a tip for making 25Rem brass from 30Rem brass. If you full length resize the 30 down to the 25, the case will be too short (have a lot of headspace). Fireforming the cases will then result in backed out primers, excess case stretch, and it may take multiple firings to get the cases expan...

Glad to do it. Just glad to see that someone else is interested in this fine old cartridge. And anyone else that wants to weigh in with their own experience is welcome. Reeds ammo still has a good price on 30Rem brass that resizes nicely to 25Rem. I have bought from them twice with no problems. http...

I did a brain dump in a new thread. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/forums/ ... 146#p13146

The following post summarizes what I have learned after testing hundreds of load combinations in three rifles chambered for the 25 Remington: a Remington Model 30 Express bolt action, a custom Ruger #3 single shot and a Remington Model 14 slide action. I also obtained a very good handloading program...

21 gr of 3031 for the 60 grain bullets and 25 gr of 3031 for the 86 grain bullets. What do you think about that? 21gr of 3031 behind a 60gr FP will give about 2000fps and 11,000psi peak and 3900psi at the muzzle. This will be very mild, like a 25-20, only louder. 27gr of 3031 behind a 86gr FP will ...

I checked. Actually he got it from Nambujim on GunBroker (not Wiseners as I incorrectly recalled). Nambujim is one of the guys on this forum. You might try to PM him. If it was mine, I would weld repair it. If Nambujim doesnt have another, you might ask your gunsmith how he feels about welding it. N...
