[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 430812, member: 10178"] I have loaded for and hunted with the 25-06 for a long time. It has been my finding that for some reason most of the rifles that I have used wanted the bullet to jump between 10 and 30 thousands off the lands with most closer to 30 thousands. Here are just some of my findings. In 24" barrels 52 grs H-4831 with 117 Sierra Pro Hunter, the flat base bullet, seems to really shoot well over all. With 26" barrel 49 grs IMR 4350 and the 117 Sierra Pro Hunter seems to shoot better. There is not much different in the velocity either. My load that I have used for years in my 26" barrel consists of this. Rem cases, IMR 4350 49.0 grs, CCI 250 mag primer, 117 Sierra Pro Hunter, OAL 3.150 . I have killed well over 100 whitetail deer with this load from point blank to a little over 400 yards and 99% of them drop in their tracks. [/QUOTE]
