[QUOTE="Nutjob, post: 473834, member: 10586"] Lifelong 25-06 fan. When it was time to rebarrel I almost went with a .280 ackley to move to the higher bc bullets. I went with the 25-06 ackley and 110 accubonds. With a 25.5" Lilja 3 groove I get 3500 fps with RL17 and consistently shoot 1 1/2" at 300 yards. I shot a mature Muley buck this year at 620 yards. Broke the shoulder on the way in and exited behind the far shoulder. In my 25-06 I was running 100 grain bullets at 3400 fps with rl22 and 3200 with 110 accubonds and h4831sc in a 24" factory Remington barrel and 3300 fps with retumbo and accubonds. If a guy is building a custom or rebarreling I don't see a drawback. I'm sure some of my velocity inrease was due to a barrel that was 1.5" longer and the use of rl17,but increased powder capacity never hurts. Run the numbers on a 110 accubond at 3450 and a 115 Berger at 3400 and I think you'll like what you see, especially considering recoil is still very mild. [/QUOTE]
