Asked a while back about getting a 25-06 and well I got one. Put about over 60 rounds through it and it's been a good rifle so far. . Adjusted factory trigger to 3lbs and working well. Been loading 75 HPs for it since its varmint season, seem to shoot a little under MOA. Also been working with 100 grain Sierra Gamekings. Don't expect this to be it's more accurate loading since its a 9 1/4 twist. I'm curious as to why they use this twist now instead of 1/10?
Anyhow was concerned at first because it copper fouled BAD. Figure bullets going at 3600 FPS can very well do that. After lots of scrubbing using sweets and a round of JB I shot it again today.
I shot this group with the 100s. Using IMR 4350 can't remember the exact charge but 1 below max in the manual at 3,300 FPS.
Bottom corner square, center was some .223 testing. 0.46 inches! Best so far and showed me rifle has good promise.
Should be a fun nice reliable rifle for a long time. Here's the gun, got a Burris FF II 4.5x14 on it:
Thanks all!
