Long range for .25-06 Suggestions

[freddiej]

My 25-06 loves the 90 through 115 grain anything Barnes, Berger, Nosler or Sierra. it was not picky, it shot everything with a very good accuracy. it was my "goat" pronghorn gun. pretty much as 440 Coronet said.. Bang, flop, kick, done. Most shots where 400 yards an above. I loved that gun.. I am sorry I ever sold it.

I've been doing some load development in a 25-06 with 115 bergers. How far off of the lands did you end up?

0.012 off the lands. Single feed, no magazine

If I rebarrel this rifle it will have a 25-06 SAAMI chamber and a 7.5 twist and I will shoot the 131g Blackjack Ace bullets.

That might explain why I'd only been scoring +/-30% hits on 3" groundhog heads at 600 yards with a variable 15 mph crosswind. I never shot paper greater than 300.

In full disclosure, I couldn't get the new 100gr ballistic tips pn 25100 to shoot nearly as well as the original 43005.

It probably the gun it self because I shoot B-Tips in 280,7mm mag 300 win mag and even my 338 Win Mag using 200gr B-Tip all out to 500 yards better than the 25-06
