[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 345027, member: 21068"] I used to use a 25-06 Ruger M77 MarkII Target Rifle for windy days in the prarie dog towns. I would load 85 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips at 3600' / sec. The trajectory was very similar to my 220 swift with 55 gr loads @ 3750' / sec. but the wind bucking ability was what set the 25-06 a step above. WAY less wind drift at 400 and 500 yds!! I did shoot a few coyotes with that load in 25-06. Didn't really tear them up any worse than the 220 Swift did. Personally, I think the 25-06 is one of the best all around (varmints/predators, antelope/deer, even close range elk) factory cartridges available today. 100 or more rounds a day at prarie dogs gets a little tough on the collar bone but overall very pleasant to shoot.
