[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 404737, member: 22600"] You guys are great. Thanks for your insight. I guess that a little more insight to my question would be a great help. I have a Ruger 25-06 in my gun cabinet that is very lonely. I have taken the time to develop several of my other calibers and this one has been patiently waiting. The funny thing is that it is one of my favorite rifles. I am considering buying a new Vortex Viper 6-20 x 44 -30mm with a mil dot reticle for it. I have found that there are two different Bullets for this rifle that offer a G1 BC in the .453 to .466 range. They are the Berger 115 VLD and the Nosler 115 Ballistic tip. I have taken both of these slugs with realistic theoretical numbers through the JBM Ballistics calculators. They shoot flatter than my 300 Win Mag with a 180 Grn in the G1 BC range of .507 across the entire spectrum out to 1000 yds. As I am new to this long range begins at 400 yards and ends somewhere around 800. I am sure as my experience increases so will the distance. [/QUOTE]
