[QUOTE="1yotedog, post: 2364072, member: 97433"] Alberta, I read that you are loading for a 25-06..... I've been experimenting with 103gr Hammer Hunters in 2 25-06's. One is a standard 1:10 twist and the other is a 1:9. I've gotten sub-MOA accuracy in both of them at over 3300 fps using RL-26. When sighted for a 300yd drop of 5.5 in., it's 1 in high at 100yd and zero at approx. 200yds. I think that is pretty typical of what you can expect from Hunters in a 25-06. I've not tried Absolutes in the 25-06 but my experience with 123/124 Absolute/Hunter in load test for my 6.5 Creedmore is that they are different bullets and my rifle shot one very well but the other not so much. If your first try with one type doesn't work out then try the other. No test-on-game with the 25-06 yet but the Creed shooting 123gr Absolutes took one hog and one buck this year..... they both fell where they stood on pass-through shots with no bullet recovered.
