[QUOTE="satexun, post: 464827, member: 14861"] It's been a while since I've been on this site, but now that I'm back, I thought I'd weigh in on one of the earlier questions about factory loads. I hunt with a .25-06 and I don't reload so I'm at the mercy of the factory loads available. I know there are many on here who have forgotten more than I will ever know about ballistics - and many reload - so I'll defer to those who know a lot more than me, but from my own experience with this caliber, I've shot just about all brands of factory loads in different grain bullets. I've found that the Nosler Custom, 100gr partition, hits as hard as any of the heavier ballistic tipped rounds I've shot, and drops deer dead in their tracks. The brass is much more uniform and defect free than other factory rounds, and I would not hesitate to take down any four legged game in Texas with it. I like these bullets so much that every time I see a box on a shelf, I buy them (ask my wife, she'll tell you that it's borderline obsession). From the ballistics data that I've seen it measures well with other loads and I certainly feel confident when I have one in the chamber. I'm not sure this helps with the question, but I always enjoy babbling on about this caliber and this round. [/QUOTE]
