[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 762417, member: 56732"] I would go with a mono metal bullet in the 25-06 . In the 629 the 300 gr is pretty ideal. 20 gr of H110 or 296 with a mag pistol primer. The Smith isn't built for extreme pressure. I loaded some 300 gr Speer with 20 gr of 296 for a friends 6" 29 . He shot a 6+' black bear on Prince of Wales Is. From less than 20' in the head. The bullet went thru the skull, totally destroyed over 12" of neck vertibra and part way thru the lungs. Over 18" of straight penetration. . [/QUOTE]
