Re: 25-06 load for deer.
Ive gotten really good results with the nosler 115grn ballistic tipped backed by 51grn of imr 4831 and cci primers, good penetration and superb accuracy out to 400 yards. drops em dead in thier tracks.
Re: What caused my case to do this? (Help)
check the chamber and casings for buildup of lube/ moisture. the temp of the shot could be causing the lube/moisture to evaporate and denting the casing. sounds like bs but have seen it before on my 25-06 when deer hunting in the rain.
