[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1226255, member: 74902"] I shoot a 25-06 out of a 22" barrel. I get 100 Gameking - 3200 FPS 110 Accubond - 3060 117 Gameking - 2980 It shoots Federal Fusion With the 120 Speer well but don't have the speed info handy. Longest kill is 375 on antelope works really well at those distances. It's really a 450-500 yard gun in my mind. I wouldn't use it on a bear. I have other guns for that anyway. 25-06 is a screamer with a 85~75 gr. Bullet for varmints. Looking at a flat shooting 3500~3700 fps then. I am moving over to a 6.5CM, 6.5-284, 6.5-06, etc. After this barrel is gone though. Problem is a 25-06 is a 10 twist and cannot shoot heaver bullets well. It a great fast flat shooter but with the invention of the laser rangefinder that doesn't seem to be that important these days. A 140 gr. 6.5 bullet bucks the wind better and holds energy down range much better. Plus it's more suitable for that surprise bear. [/QUOTE]
