[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 35308, member: 10"] Brian Winzor, I have hear and talked with shooters that have 25-06 rifles that shoot these 115 gr tipped bullets very well, I just have not witnessed it with the ones tha tcome through my shop. Thow a 100 gr Ballistic Tip in them and they generally run 3/4 moa or better from factory rifles. I load 58.0 gr Rl-22 over a CCI-200 and a coated 100 gr Ballistic Tip out of my Ruger M77MkII with a 24" barrel. I started load developement with several different bullets and powders and this rifle will only shoot the 100 gr B.Tip with any results at all. With this bullet and powder it is the most accurate factory sporter I have ever owned. In its prime it would average 3/8 moa groups at an average velocity of 3455 fps fro 10 shots. This was not a maxed out load either in this rifle, in fact I loaded it to 3500 fps and I was still getting 4 firings per case. At 3455 fps I get 5-6 firings before the primer pockets loosen up. For a big game rifle I am plenty satisfied with this case life. I find it interesting that your velocities are as low as they are. Everyone I know here in Montana that is using the 25-06 is getting at least 3400 fps with the 100 gr bullets with ease. The 25-06 rifles I have built for customers are running solid 3600 fps velocities with the 100 gr pills out of 26" barrels at very desent pressures it seems, case life is +5 firings at least. I guess I must clarify what I consider fine accuracy with regards to teh 115 gr bullets. I have shot several rifles that would hold 3/4 to 1 moa groups but to a custom riflesmith that is accuracy minded, this is pretty poor accuracy. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
