[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1678888, member: 9308"] Hey Jeeper48, I think your starting choice is great ([B]110 grain Accubond[/B]). Try some reloads and see if the rifle likes them. If so, you're all set! Great bullet. If the gun isn't 'into' those, you might try the Barnes TTSX in 100 grain weight: Caliber 25 Cal Type TTSX BT Weight 100 Diameter .257 S.D. 0.216 B.C. 0.357 Length 1.195 Box QTY 50 Catalog # 30220 [IMG]https://www.barnesbullets.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/30240.png[/IMG] You get a lot of speed from them, so they are a flat shooting bullet and they open up well and penetrate well out to the max distance (400 yards) you mentioned. Don't be put off by the 100 grain weight. The beauty of the TTSX bullets is they lose virtually no weight and penetrate really well. That's important on those mule deer. Another bullet that is a classic for the Baby-Ought-Six is the 115 grain Nosler Partition. Seems all guns like it, whereas some guns liked the 120 grain Partition and some didn't. The 115 gr was more universal. And you get a bit more speed from it. Classic hunting bullet. Performance is a known quantity. Great expansion AND penetration. Still, I think the 110 grain Accubond you mentioned would be an excellent bullet for the mule deer and antelope. I bet you'll find an accurate load pretty quickly with it. (That old 120 grain Core-Lokt bullet was a wonderful choice for Grandpa's time! They shot well and performed well, for a cup-and-core bullet.) [/QUOTE]
