[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 866064, member: 19778"] I've been testing the 90's at long range, and launching them at 3550 fps they are good to 400 yards. a 2.25 inch 425 yard group.. the problem is most 25-06 are 10 twist, so a shorter bullet spun to fast can cause problems at longer ranges. Shooting at 625 yards the bullets are about a ft low and a ft to the right from my 200 yard zero.. bullet RPM's are high enough to never let the bullet go to sleep and nose down in the flight path so bullets are pointing slightly upward while the bullet is traveling down killing off the BC of the bullet. The solution is to either slow them down or buy a 12 twist. I opted for the former and slowed the down to 3430 fps and have yet to test them at 600 yards. The 115 Bergers are probably better suited for the role. but the quick killing power on coyote sized game with the thin skinned bullets are hard to give up. these bullets dump all of the energy of the 25-06 into my coyote. like an oversized 22-250/220 swift. They are DRT. [/QUOTE]
