[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 3026242, member: 109229"] I have run 87 grain Hornady SP's and 95 Grain Sierra Blitzkings in my .25-06 with IMR 4831 and RL-19, respectively with velocities in the 3,350 range. I had very acceptable accuracy from these loads but this was several years ago. I love to hunt groundhogs and would always develop a varmint load and a deer load for every rifle. As components became more expensive, I said to hell with that, and chose a medium weight bullet that would be good for both groundhogs and deer. So, I guess it might be a little silly to hunt varmints with a 115 Berger Hybrid but depending upon how much you shoot and taking into consideration that you consume more powder with lighter bullets, it might be a wash. There are other factors, of course but this makes things more efficient for me. [/QUOTE]
