120 gr. Hornady hp with 7828 at 3200fps , deadly on 60+ mule deer and Antelope

Look for a winchester Mod. 52

I've used a 25:06 almost exclusively for over 40 yrs. I use 120 gr. Hornady hollow points , with IMR 7828 at around 3200 fps in a 24in barrel, with this load I've shot 6 elk ,all 1 shot kills and over 100 deer and Antelope, at ranges out to 325 yds.

Winchester went back to controlled round feeding in 1968 , as such this rifle will not be older than 1968. The stock design came out in about 1964 and has carried through to todays rifles.

I have one which I would sell

Antelope love sage and it imparts a strong taste, I never hunt them where there is sage and they are the best tasting wild game period, also the tenderest meat.

I've used anhydrous lanolin for years , huge jar for cheap from the drugstore. Great case lube easy to clean up and - bonus it's good fro your hands.

I've shot more game with 25:06 than all my other calibers combined, I use a Hornady 120 gr. HP bullet and imr7828 for impressive speed and accuracy. Don't understand why that bullet isn't more popular as it performs!

I've taken a number of elk with Hornady 120 gr. hollowpoint bullets , all one shot kills , I've shot many deer antelope elk with that bullet and it's a awesome killer , and being a hollowpoint it doesn't deform in the magazine.

I've used anhydrous lanolin from the pharmacy for 30 years ,works great and it's cheap and good for your hands , just roll the cases on a sponge pad covered with it and wipe off with a rag after sizing.

I shoot my 25:06 with 120gr Hornady hollow points , a great hunting bullet which does not deform the tip in the mag. I use 7828 IMR and get over 3000fps and have had great sub moa accuracy in every 25:06 I've owned. I've shot everything from antelope to elk with that combo.

thanks I'll give it a try.

I shoot a custom 264 Win with a 26 in ss barrel in 1-10 and until I could no longer get it was using 77gr. of H870 with a mag rifle primer and Hornady 140 BTSP in a ww case and chronographed over 3150 at 6ft. with no pressure signs and .75in. 3 shot groups. Now I need to find a new powder. Any...
