[QUOTE="Jerry Ricker, post: 125181, member: 6229"] I'm using one in 25-06 that shoots 1/4" 5-shot groups @ 100yd all day if you do your part. I'm pushing 115gr VLD's to just over 3200fps with no signs of pressure using RL22 in fed. cases. Have used 100 and 115 Noslers in the past with near equal performance but after using the VLD's in 30 cal. on deer I decided to try them in 25. I've only used them on grounhogs so far out to 512yd with devastating results The key is not to over-torque the action screws, front one at 30in/lb, rear at 20in/lb, and 10in/lb on the middle triggerguard screw. All my other long range precision rifles are built on Rem. actions so I was a little reluctant to buy the Ruger but I can honestly say I will never part with it, and I absolutely love the target trigger, have mine set at about 24oz. Maybe I got a good one. I have shot this load at 1,000yd with a 5-shot group measuring 7.5", my buddy with his benchrest gun had a hard time accepting that. [/QUOTE]
