Did quickdtoo ever get his 25-06 to shoot?

Just picked up a barrel and was perusing the old posts. Looks like FredM gave up on his after a LOT of work.

As I recall his posts on the subject, Tim put pics of targets showing his groups compared to .................I am not sure ...was it a 3 inch diameter English penny........why would Tim use an English penny.....................a hem

(Sorry Tim that was the 260 wasnt it?)

My 25-06 shoots fine with the original lam stock on it, it didn't shoot well when I tried the new style synthetic stock on it, I reluctantly put the original lams back on it and hunted with it last year tho, a heavy bugger it is tho, unfortunately I never saw a legal animal to shoot.  I used up most of the good shooting ammo that I originally used in it trying to sight in with the syns, so I tried the 120gr Rem ammo I had, it shot just as well, scope adjustments were made after shots 1 and 2 on the target below. 

Yes Mc, that was the 260, but a US penny is what I usually use for perspective.

Not sure about Quicks, but while were talking about you (Quick, OR if Im not mistaken?) thanks for that snow storm you all sent my way today (ID) what a mess (not sure if it hit you). What a great homecoming gift. Anyway was thinking of going shooting this weekend but might have to wait now. I also have the 25-06 and started to get some decent loads worked up. I will hold off on the range report untill the weather holds up. I also read the old post from Fred and Tim some of these guys have a lot of good information to share.

I have a 25-06 that I bought just because I have a full case of 25-06 Federal 117 gr ammo. Was going to fire it up and work up a good load for it using the once fired cases.Took it to the range made zero adjustments and fired for group at 100 yards. 3 shots touching!. End of load development Now I need to find 480 critters to use the remainder of the ammo on! Hope yours does as well.
