[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2397332, member: 301"] I have been using 120gr Hornady HPs for more than 20 years out of my .25-06, but they're pretty much unobtainium these days. Sierra 120gr HPBT works almost as well. They are a little softer up close, but might be a tad better at 400+. I've tried most everything that will stabilize, and it's splitting hairs between quality bullets. I didn't like Hornady sst up close, same with Speers hot core. The copper ones are good close up but lackluster when the velocity drops off a bit. If you're hunting open ground the heavier Bergers will be tough to outperform. But if you're mostly looking at shorter distance game, you'd probably have a hard time finding something that doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
