[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 966306, member: 10178"] I have shot 25-06s for around 25 years and this is what I have learned. They shoot great with one of the 4350s or H4831 with 100 to 120 gr bullets. I DON'T CLEAN UNTIL ACCURACY DROPS OFF. I once decided to REALLY clean a tack driving Shilen SS barrel. I had to shoot 25 rounds after that just to get it back to grouping. Lesson learned. Some rifles just don't like boat tail bullets but will shoot lights out with flat base bullets. My current 25-06 is one of them. Rem 700 action Shilen SS #6 couture 26" long in an H&S precision full bed stock. 49 grs IMR or AA 4350, Rem case, CCI 250 primer, 117 Sierra Pro Hunter flat base bullet 20 thousands off the lands, 3000 fps and shoots bug holes and kills deer like lightening struck them. I also have learned that some times you need to tighten up on the nut behind the butt plate to get your best accuracy. :D Solid shooting rest and consistent holding equals better groups. [/QUOTE]
