[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 22450, member: 34"] Hello I have a 25-06 and a 25 Gibbs. The 25-06 has a 30" barrel and Sako action and likes 52 to 54 Gr of H4350 (depending on how hot the temperature is) with a 100 gr Ballistic tip. My wive and I got 2 woodchucks one day at 1050 and 1100 yards and a friend of ours with his 25-06 got one at 1100 yards also. Both guns shooting that load (54 grs). I would suggest starting at around 50 or 51 grs and going up slowly if you plan on using the 100 gr bullet. The Ballistic tip does quite well at extended range in the 25-06. The Gibbs I can load hotter and it has a 34" barrel so no need giving out that load since you have a factory rifle to work with. Good Luck to you Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
