[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1969515, member: 93895"] Stammster. In 25-06 I've reloaded for my 700, a Savage heavy barrel 112 & an axis for a friend. Remington brass is tough in 25-06 and will last, weight sorting it vastly tightened my groups. In one bag of 50 I ended up with about 6 different weight groups when I sorted by 1 grain variance lots. One thing I found in common with these three different 10 twist factory models of 25-06 is that 80 & 85 grain bullets shot tighter groups than anything heavier. I could shoot 3/8" groups. Moving to 100 grain ballistic tips & partitions yeilded 3/4"- 1" groups no matter what I tried and I tried everything. Moving on up to 110 & 115 grain bullets give me right around 1-1/4" groups no matter what I tried. The 10 twist barrels just seemed to like 80-85 grain bullet the best. I ran Hornady & Nosler brass with 3/8" groups and didn't weight sort those but the pockets don't last long in either of those. [/QUOTE]
