I have a 25-06 Ruger rifle with a Timney trigger that shoots almost one hole groups with every bullet I have tried.

I have shot the Berger 115 gr bullets for a while and they work very - just can't find them now.

I have shot a few coyotes with the 75 grain Hornady Ballistic tips. - not a fur bullet. Does a great job on groundhogs.

I have tried Varget, H100 and 4831. Settled on Varget with 4831 very close. H100 is on my rifle did not like.

The Scapula Shot!!! The Best

That is what happens with the 100 grain nosler ballistic tips.

There are so many good factory rounds and bullets to reload with nowadays.
When I first got my 25-06 I did not reload and was limited to Remington 120 core loks
which were a plenty good load for deer. The first few boxes I bought had a too long coal
for my rifle and caused a bit of grief.

Broomchaser was that the normal ballistic tip(varmint) or the one for deer hunting?(there’s two different ones)

Have 2 of them. Weatherby MKV Ultra-Lightweight and Rem 700 BDL.

I'm not a huge fan. They're OK. Only deer I've shot with the .25 were with handloaded Barnes TTSX 100 grainers over IMR-4350. Not the most authoritative kills. Too stout in the construction for whitetails, maybe ??

I much prefer the .308 Win over the .25-Oh for shooting deer.

100 grain.

It looks like the 100 gr BT comes in a varmint and hunter variety. Looks like the tips are different shades of blue?

Yeah it's easy to get those mixed up

Parker-hale 25-06, bought it used, when I was posted in Saskatchewan. 200 yards like a laser in the wind, back to my 30-06 in the bush in Ontario but keep it around for coyotes on the farm.

One of my most regrettable gun sales was selling my browning stainless abolt in 25-06. At the time I thought my 257 wby would do everything the 25-06 could and more but I was mistaken. 25-06 can do everything the 257 wby could. Very underrated chambering imo.

When yall test a rifle for the best load, do you clean the barrel between each group testing?
