[QUOTE="LB, post: 37320, member: 2721"] What I think, and I own a 25'06 Ackley, is that you are using an incorrect bullet, but, not by much. I use the 100 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip for everything, coyotes to mule deer, and it performs perfectly. The 85 is a "varmint bullet", but (as I understand it) the 100 gr. was redesigned years ago as a big game bullet with a heavier jacket. I use it primarily on coyotes, though. That bullet just steams right on through, which is what I want. Bottom line, a single load for every thing. Makes it simple. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
