25-06

Thinking about getting into 25-06, just wondering powder choice for you guys. Will more than likely be loading nosler 110 grain.

On another forum that I am on,a Ruger #1V was offered and quickly sold. These and the Savage are some of the most accurate offered.
I hunted woodchucks for years with a buddy that carried a bolt gun chambered in 25-06. He shot a Hornady 90gr. The 25-06 is a great,sadly overlooked,chambering. Tons of powder and bullet combo's available.
Go for it !! ---- SAWMAN

I’ve had good luck in the past with H4831 with 117-120 grain projectiles.

I shoot a 257 Roberts with 100 gr noslers and 117 gr Hornady sst. I've had great results with IMR 4064https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6a4263fdac.jpg

Sierra 100 shoot well in my rifle with either of the 4831s or imr 4064. Looking to try the Barnes bullets

My current go to is 4350 and 115 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. I have been shooting my Savage 25-06 for 18 years and killed well over 100 deer and an untold number of pigs with this gun and bullet. I just started reloading a couple years ago but shot the same bullet in factory loading before. In my opinion, you won’t find a better whitetail caliber. My wife shoots a Tikka with the same bullet and we rarely have to track deer.

Following this post. I also am looking for a good load. In factory ammo mine likes 120gr core lokts best. Didn't shoot the 100gr factory loads well.

All the 25-06 guys owe it to themselves to try the new 110gr ELD-X from Hornady!!
Match Grade hunting bullet that has been getting some crazy groups for all our customers

I agree with this post as I have been a 25/06 activist for many years. From coyotes to mule deer this load will get them and most times drt. I have shot Millie’s out to 400 yards and had no problem with the load doing its job!
