25-06 load

87 grain Speer TNT w/56.0 grains of H4350. It stays well within .5" and some under .3". Note my rifle only has 1 in 10" twist so anything over 87 grains shoots about 1.5"

JLAMB- 10 twist should stabalize even 120 grain bullets. your bullets are not keyholing are they? the 1.5 inch groups are due to something besides twist rate.
 
jlamb,
I'm sure it is a 1-10 but never measured it. That is the factory standard for this caliber/cartridge
 
My best load for 100gr bullets was 52grs of IMR-4831, I have a dummy round with a 100gr Nosler BT set to an OAL of 3.250" which I set my die up with. This particular rifle will shoot the BT, the Partition, and the Barnes X all within a group of 1" at 200yds.

Not changing the seater for the 115's, my best load uses 56.5grs of RL-22, and will duplicate the accuracy of the 100gr loads using the same types of 115gr bullets.

I use Winchester cases, trimmed to 2.484" and WIN-WLR primers.

I don't know but I think the rifle gods shined on me the day I picked this one up. It has to be the absolute most accurate factory rifle I have ever had.
