[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 888021, member: 11717"] Your 10" twist will shoot any factory load there is. Bullet weight will have very little affect on your accuracy. I'm assuming you're interested in long range so I would recommend starting with the cheapest ammo that uses heavier and higher BC bullets, at least 180 gr. Higher BC bullets will help you buck wind better. I have not found that expensive factory ammo is any more accurate than cheap ammo. I have shot a .224" group @110 yds with a Sendero 25-06 shooting Federal Blue Box ammo that came with the used rifle when I bought it. Don't expect precision long range accuracy with factory ammo. If you get a good load you might get good results out to 700 or so yards, maybe more but no guarantees. If you do find a good load, buy a few boxes of the same lot because you could see significant differences between lots. [/QUOTE]
