[QUOTE="Baker City, post: 1249720, member: 98738"] I have a rem. 700 ADL .25-06. Have shot this rifle for 38 yrs. Experimented with many loads and bullets. Used this for white tail, mule deer, antelope & coyotes. My gun will only perform well with 120 gr bullets. I consistently shoot .4" groups @ 100 yd. The bullet the old gun likes best is Speer 120 gr boat tail. At a recent visit with Speer, they were adamant that this particular Speer bullet was fine for deer, antelope & coyotes but was never designed for elk as the jacket is too thin. This particular rifle does not shoot any weight of Nosler to a satisfactory group. I am in my 70's and really not interested in changing calibers. Can any experienced 1/4 bore shooters/hunters recommend a 120 gr. elk bullet? Thank you [/QUOTE]
