[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 445691, member: 21375"] What kind of gun do you have and do you know the twist rate? My 25-06 is a Ruger #1V with a 1:10 twist and there are several bullet/powder combinations that it likes. Two of the standouts are: 87 grain flat based bullet using H4831 powder and CCI 200 primers 100 or 115 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip using Hodgdon Retumbo powder and CCI 200 primers It's rare that I don't get one ragged hole with these combos and when I do it's because I drank to much coffee. I tried a number of different loads before settling on these and I did see powder selection made a significant difference on accuracy. Off the cuff I recall a couple of bullets that did not work well in my gun at all. The Hornday 100 grain and Sierra 117 grain boat tail. The Sierra 120 grain HP bullets shoot well but the 117 looked like a shotgun pattern. [/QUOTE]
