Okay, I just got a new Ultra 25-06. Anybody got a favorite accuracy load? I bought a little of all bullets 75 grain varmint to 117 grain hunting.

Thanks,
John

My ultra love sierra game king btsp 117 grain. I push then with 51 grains of IMR 4831. It eats them up and deadly accurate and deadly on whitetails. I have not loaded any other bullets becaus eit is pretty much a deer gun

I have had good results with Sierra 90 grs, in front of IMR 4350. I don't have the actual load handy here, but could post it later if your interested.

This is the best shooting deer/antelope load in my 25.06 Ultra:

Winchester Brass, Winchester Large Rifle Primers, Sierra GameKing #1630 117 gr. boattail spitzer and 49 gr. IMR4350.

51 grs of 4350 is listed as max, but mine did better at 49...

My gun had a long jump to the lands, so I set the bullets out longer that spec for a magazine feed rifle, but I'd have to measure one to tell how long. It still had plenty of bearing surface to stabilize though. That really depends on the land distance in your gun anyway.

I have a 25-06 ultra on order for my grandson. Hope it comes soon. I plan on using 100 grain bullet due to recoil for him. i'm going to try IMR 4350 because it works good in my 270 and 338. I'll let you know how I make out when I can try it.

I don't load but have had best luck with 115 gr ballistic silvertip Winchester. :-D
