Anybody here shoot the Encore in...............?

25-06?  Tell me what bullets, brass, powder, primers, and cases you use.  Mine is on order and I'm wanting to start collecting components.

It shouldn't matter what the platform is - what do you intend to shoot with your .25-06?  I don't own a .25-06 now but used to use one for deer and varmints.....

That's about what this one will be used for, maybe some squirrels.

I have an encore 25-06 rifle. I shot 5 deer with it this year and only one ran about 80yrds and piled up.The others went bang flop. The ranges were from 33 yrds out to 344 yrds, basied off my laser range finder.All the bullets stayed in the amimal, but they did break up preaty bad, but the results were great.The load that I am using is a 100gr sierra SBT behind 57gr R-22. Win case and Fed large rifle primer.Vel is around 3350. Hope this helps
