I laid this away a few weeks ago and am planning to pick it up tomorrow. I'm pretty much buying this caliber because it was used but barely. Has a great 2.5 pound trigger job and Thumbhole stock in stainless steel. I don't think I'm going to use the 25-06 very much but do have plans for a 35 Whelen barrel and a 460 barrel for it. I don't think I'm going to reload for this one lol. For right now. It's a 10 twist and I want some serious factory ammo to drop deer in their tracks. I've given the Hornady gmx some consideration but just wondered what you 25-06 owners think for anything from 25 yards to 350 yards. I would go with some Barnes ttsx but close range not sure how they would react. My best luck with them in all calibers has been 200 yards plus. I've never shot anything but paper with the sst so not sure how it does on game. From research I read that the 10 twist will stabilize anything from 75 grain to 120 but I have my doubts about that. Every rifle has its perfect bullet. That's what I'm asking the experts for.
PS. Doesn't have to be Hornady. Just mostly what's on store shelves.
