25-06

[Browning_300wsm]

Just picked up a new 25-06 last weekend after not having one for 5 years or so. Remington 700 LSS with the beautiful black laminate stock. Been wanting one of these forever and just happened to stumble across it at a local gun store while buying a bore snake. $729 brand new in the box, couldn't pass that up!

In my Ruger I had I loaded quite a bit of 75gr hornady HP that were absolute lasers. Still have all my load data that I'll experiment with, not sure if the twist rate is the same as the Ruger or not. Haven't really looked into it.

Also planning on some Nosler Accubond or Partition, probably 110gr for deer hunting. What is everyone loading?

I’ve been working on loads for my X bolt, but it’s taken a lot longer to get anything figured out these days. I’m working with Hornady SST’s at 117 grains and Retumbo powder, but the best I’ve been able to do is a 1 3/4” group before a case stuck in the chamber and I broke my extractor. That sort of puts a damper on testing, and likely moves my testing of Nosler and Speer bullets into next year.

I've worked with 120, 117, 115grn bullets mostly Nosler but have settled on the 110grn Nosler Accubond as my hunting bullet

I have been impressed with the performance of the 110grn bullet on deer.

I use the nosler 100-grain ballistic tips in mine.

 

[brybenn]

I use 117 gr hornady interlock spbt at 3100fps. Flattens wolves with a 50 cent piece exit. Should be perfect for deer

I use 100 grain Sierra Game kings with IMR 7828 in my 25-06 ackley

Both the hornady 75gr hp and the 117gr bullets shoot very well in my gun.

100gr Swift Scirocoo for hunting , H1000 Powder

75gr V-max with H4350 for little critters.

I just finished loading up my ladder test batch of 115 grain Nosler BT with Retumbo in Remington cases. I'm hoping to find a sub moa recipe in time for deer season, I'm less concerned with max velocity.

In my browning bar(semi-auto) I use barns100g tsx or ttsx...running at 2930...2950 fps...inside 400 meters its a done deal also I tried the 75gr vmax for coyotes running at 3100....jesus Christ what a sweet gun ...hardly any recoil and flipping accurate out to 400 meters
I reload my own and just got super #### lucky....my dope for my gun is just sweet roughly 1” per hundred meters after 400 meters I don’t shoot ...not enough steam !

 

[Kelly Timoffee]

Both of my loads are accurate and the 75 Vmax is rockin!

120 Nosler partition with a healthy load of H4831

I have found the 120 Speer Grand Slam to be perfect for deer and would be my choice for Elk or moose

 

[davide montini]

The 120 grand slam ...and with what powder ..I’m curious

 

[Buckmastr]

100 TSX, 55.5 gr D4350SC, 3.01 OAL R-P brass at 3300 fps from a 22" barrel

 

[bunny]

The 120 grand slam ...and with what powder ..I’m curious

H4831 is the best in my opinion.

The 120 grand slam ...and with what powder ..I’m curious

I’ve had pretty good success with Ramshot Magnum in the 120 grain, of most makes. Also the 117’s

 

[mbogo3]

RE#22 with 115gr Partition dropped an elk at over 400 yards.

I'll second that. Great game bullet. Have tried it in the 25-06, 257R, and the 25 wssm. - dan
