[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1654483, member: 109229"] I’m shooting a Cooper Jackson Game Rifle in .25-06. My go-to bullet is a 115 Nosler ballistic tip on 51.5 grains of IMR 4831. 1/2 MOA all day long. I also load the 90 grain Sierra Blitzking and the 87 grain Hornady Sp for varmints. Does the OPs rifle have a 24” barrel? I think this (along with the 1:10 twist) are standard for the .25-06, and I have read that the cartridge needs that 24” inch bore to get a good uniform burn out of slow/ medium powders and if barrels are too short, things can get squirrely with heavier bullets.
