25-06 reloaders

[rukiddin]

For anyone that shoots a 25-06 and tinkers around with handloads, what are some loads you have had good success with?

I really like the bullet performance from the Sierra Game King on deer, but thats just from factory loads from a 260.
Currently shooting Hornady sst handloads in my 260, and would like to try them also. But I'm open to any suggestions.

Gun is a Rem 700 Classic. I can get <1" groups at 100yds pretty easily with Rem 115gr factory loads. I just don't feel like I'm giving the rifle a chance to live up to its potential!!

Try a 100gr bullet. I think you can shrink the group.

I shoot the 100 NBT and 5X.X grs of IMR4831,,shoots lights out and flat as a banjo string at 3430 fps.

start at about 53 grs and work up,,every one I ever loaded for shot best right at the max load..

I never could get the 115 -120 gr bullets to shoot as good as the 100`s in any of the 25-06 I have ever tried,,and there has been a few.

Thanks mr big.

the 100 Sierra GK BTSP would probably work just as good as the NBT

I also shoot the 100 gr ntb with with 5x.xx grains of IMR 4831.

try a 90 grain sierra gameking hp loaded with a max charge of IMR7828 at a little over 3500 fps. this is out of a savage rifle and VERY accurate.
