[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 521514, member: 10178"] The Scirrocco is a good bullet as far as ballistics go but they do have a thicker jacket and are hard to get to shoot well in some rifles. With the 80 gr ttsx I would take a long look at IMR 4064 powder. I have found that lighter bullets need a little faster burning power in the 25-06 and with your shorter barrel it may pay off with more velocity and less muzzle blast. You should be able to get 3400 fps with the 80 gr but just hope the accuracy is at that speed. A couple other standard time proven loads for the 25-06 is with 117 gr bullets, 52 grs H-4831 and with 100 gr bullets is 52 grs IMR 4350. With most cup and core bullets under 100 grs you run into varmint bullets that really come apart on impact. I have used the 87 gr Sierra with 52.2 grs IMR 4350 at around 3350 fps and the 75 gr Sierra HP with 49 grs IMR 4064 for 3600 fps on ground hogs and it looks like shooting red paint fulled balloons. It really scatters pieces. So stay with 100 gr and above cup and core bullets for larger game. [/QUOTE]
