[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2451097, member: 101791"] I used a 25-06 for years hunting deer. Great rifle in a Rem 721 with a 22" barrel. Never did a velocity test on it. I did set up target out to 500yds. Use target made by me. At that time you had to go out and do your taping for distance. My brother is a surveyor, so he had a very long chain. I develop away to range with my 2 x 7 Leupold Scope. At that time I was using 120gr Nosler lead tipped boat tail bullets. (No longer made). Consistence grouping at 3" @ 500yds. I used Fed 210, MRP or N-205, and Winchester cases. They did the job. It took down deer and Antelope at the 500 yds range. Would I change to AI? Yes! [/QUOTE]
