How about a 110 or 125gr bullet out of the 30-06? I understand the BCs would probably be even less, but it’d be comparing more apples to apples in weight-wise. If one found a monolithic bullet in 110gr for the 30-06, would you use that over the 25-06?

Ok, I have both a 25-06 and a 30-06. Both are 22” barreled. Since I’ve been reloading for a couple years now, I have been wondering why one would choose the 25-06 with a 100-117gr bullet going 3200-3300fps ( upper loads in Lee Manual) instead of a 30-06 with a 130gr bullet going 3200fps (upper...

I call BS! You shot that with those 9mm Lung Blowers!

Would these be too light for use on deer & antelope?

Same. I guess I'll find another load that works for this OEM barrel and when it gets shot out, get one with a faster twist.

The altitude I shot these at was approximately 1522ft above sea level.

@JTH & @ButterBean thank you for your replies. I guess I’ll have some 95gr BD2s for sale :(

@nralifer : here's a 5-shot group I shot today out of my Browning A-bolt II 25-06Rem with 1:10" twist barrel @ 100yds. 95gr BDII's with a healthy dose of IMR4350 behind em. Would you be comfortable using that for deer and/or antelope? Do you think the terminal performance would be there even...

How does the bullet perform at closer ranges? Say 50-150 yards?

wondering if anyone has first-hand experience shooting the 150gr BD2 from a Ruger M77 MkII 30-06? (1:10 twist) What were your results?

We get it, dude. You’re a tough hombre who has lived through the worst things to ever happen to mankind. You got triggered by an orange silhouette on a piece of paper. You made your point. Let’s get back to regular scheduled programming of this thread.

You can be bent out of shape and have your opinion. I can ignore you and continue on with my life.

I was in law enforcement for nine years, so it's a target I am accustomed to and have plenty of for annual handgun qualification. They also come in handy when sighting in a scope/rifle where you aren't sure where the POI will be. I can also get six to nine target areas on this one sheet of paper...

I have about 1/3 of a pound of IMR4831 I can try as well. I have just had bad luck finding IMR4831 near me. This is the first and only bottle I bought in the last two years..

I just bought some IMR4350 to try, as well as ordered another box of 95grainers.
