I have never had trouble getting groups of 3/4" or better out of my 25/06 except for when I was experimenting with the Barnes 100g XLC bullets.

[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 27487, member: 1403"] Stitch It doesn't really bother me on varmints. Either way, they both are still dead. I am just worried about what they are going to do on deer. I also used the 125g BT out of my old .300 Win Mag. Light recoiling, and some impressive results. Holmes Are you using a 25/06 to get those velocities? What barrel length? I suppose the 100g would work excellent for antelope like you say and also deer.
