[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2890648, member: 122313"] What twist and barrel length? If it's a factory rifle it's probably going to be a 10tw. I LOVE the 115vld's in my 10tw. Retumbo is your friend if you have enough barrel to burn it! 55gr should be a low and safe starting point but do your own research. 3200fps is pretty easy to achieve with retumbo. 25-06rem is definitely "overbore" and does well with slower burning powers. In my experience the book data on most 25-06 loads are very conservative and with a 26" barrel the 25-06 comes alive. Head stamped 25-06 brass is hit or miss as far as quality goes and a lot of people find that necking down 270win gives you access to higher quality brass. Nosler has become junk from some accounts and not worth buying. Norma 270win brass necked down is pretty good. Peterson 270win brass is really good. And RWS 270win brass is arguably the best but hard to find. I've pushed the 115vld's pretty hard with great results. They are very good at killing things! [/QUOTE]
