My 25-06’s performed best on deer with 100 gr Speer or Sierra’s at a little less than max. 250 Savage dug the Speer 87 gr more due to the slow twist. This year I was shooting my 6.5 Creedmoor and was real happy with the performance of the plain Jane 129 gr interlocks. C&C bullets under 3K and closer to 2600 can get a lot of work done. Even seen an elk or two drop to some plain old 175 7mm’s like it was no big deal.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
