[QUOTE="Styled, post: 373808, member: 140"] I've been shooting a 25-06AI with a 26" barrel extensively in the last year with various powders and heavier bullets. I wanted to stay with the high BC stuff which means the Berger 115gr VLD, or custom made 115gr's, and 125gr bullets. So far with all bullets in the 115gr range have shot their best at 3330fps, and .050 off the lands with Reloader22 powder, Lapua brass(30-06 Nk turned), and Russian primers. I was able to get 1-1.5in groups at 300m with Bergers, and a best under 1in, 5 shot group with Chinchaga 115gr RBT's. I just could not get the accuracy from other powders.. although I have a bunch of R17 I will be trying. I was also able to get unreal accuracy from Nosler 115gr BT's but they have such a much lower BC then the 115gr Bergs/Chin's. The custom 125gr's I could not get to shoot as well as the 115's no matter what I did. For those using R17 it would be interesting to hear what your results have been and what loads you have been using? The 25-06AI is great, i wish other bullet company's would start to develop better BC bullets for the 25cal. 25 Cal is a great place to be between the 6mm, and 6.5 so you know better bullets could be made, like a 130-135gr VLD at +/- 3000fps...
