[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 7484, member: 457"] Hello Mark, I'm a 25/06 fan and will be until Hell freezes over. I'll not go into my loads as your rifle is an individual and you must work it up as such. My rifle loves IMR4350 & RL22. I've had poor results with the Barnes bullets in all my quarterbores. The Nosler BT is a fine bullet, especially at the ranges you are considering. Avoid the heavy bones as even the 115 likes to come apart. My preference is the Sierra 100 MK....I know....it's not a hunting bullet. The little Sierra pill has however, done a wonderful job for me over the last few years. I always wait for a lung shot. My max range is 700-800 yards due to my current skill level and equipment. Be sure to test your loads at 300 yards or better before you trip to the field. Small calibre bullets are unforgiving at long range when considering wind drift. This is where the Sierra really shines. I have had great reports with regard to the Hornady 117 SST but can offer no personal data regarding terminal performance at this time. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
