I'm all buttoned up for Milton. It is pouring rain now and supposed to do that for tomorrow as well. I may have done it a bit early just to avoid the rain. My street is pretty much flooded now. I closed the slider shutters at the house I take care of. That takes about 15 minutes. I am currently about 50 miles inside the 5 day cone. If the rain lets up some, I'll get a bag of dog food. The supermarket is about a mile away.

Stay safe Grouchy.

Yes this is old news. I do believe it was Weatherby that parted ways as Nosler could not supply them with enough projectiles to make their factory ammunition.

BB, not to be a Whinger, but most of the data that you posted is pretty blurred and unreadable. (or maybe it's just my eyes? I wear glasses so maybe it’s just me.

Ah yes so it is. Probably because I reduced it to its minimum so it would fit on here.

The OP did send me a private message and I told him to give me his email address so I can send it to him if he wanted it.

Here is some load data from a couple of Australian manuals along with a powder equivalent table. Hodgdon powders are the same as the ADI powder. It is made here in Australia and sold in the US as Hodgdon.

My 25-06 is in a Mark V but it really loves the Combined Technology 115grn Ballistic Silvertip. Both in factory rounds or my reloads.

Juan that scope will suit your Marlin just fine. I have a few of those scopes on different rifles and they have never let me down.

Nope never crimp any of my Weatherby rounds or any other except for my 30-30. Have never had a problem either.

I am getting 3076 with the standard 225 TSX and 86grns of AR2213sc (H4138). But I know it is just on the mild side as I loaded it to shoot in hot tropics of our Northern Territory and I took that rifle to Africa.

Calling someone a feral is a common phrase down here. There are quite a lot of them. They are hippie type people that don't look all that neat and tidy. But then you could call your best mate a feral if he has done something that is pretty gross or similar.

Nice find! Maybe the third shot moving out just is a warmer barrel? I also pull the bolt out on some rifles because safe manufacturers tend to put the slots a little too close to maximize capacity. I remove the bolts to keep them from bumping/rubbing on the rifle next to them. I put a light coat of oil on and place each one in a zip-lock bag on a shelf.
In Australia it is the law rifles must be stored with bolts removed and locked away separately. $:-\$

No it is not every state that has the law that bolts must be removed. Where I live in NSW you can store your rifles with the bolts in them.
I will put the bolts in the ones held in the rifle safe door, just havent yet.
