[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1422110, member: 30671"] In factory rifles I like to run some factory ammo first, if there are issues you haven't voided your warranty, can be a source of brass, can give you a bit of a baseline to judge reloads from, and a little break in doesn't hurt. A couple of things come to mind that you'll likely encounter with what you have. Ruger #1's are frequently long in the throat, typical .25-06 are 1-10"twist. With no magazine to worry about, seating bullets out isn't an issue, but the twist doesn't set you up the best for long bullets. So bullet jump will likely be a factor. For Axis deer, and your rifle I'd start with the Hornady 117 SST. I think it's available as loaded ammo as well in the Superformance line. [/QUOTE]
