Bullet Weights in the 25-06

[gcrank1]

My Greenhill charts says that for a .257 in a 1:10 your max length stabilized (use length NOT weight) is ..990.

My son and I both shoot 25-06 for mule deer and elk. I have a Stevens 200, he has a Remington 700 ADL. Hornady 120 gr HPs work great in both rifles with H 4831 powder, R-P brass and Win WLR primers.

ive recently changed my mind on that bullet. Ive shot it quite a bit in the 257 weatherby and 2506 and have had decent luck with it. It is a very very accurate bullet. Probably one of the most accurate 25 cal bullets ive shot. this year doing crop damage shooting i was using it in the weatherby and had to instances where the bullet pensiled through a deer and didnt apear to expand at all. Both shots were under 200 yards and at weatherby velocity it should have  been more of a consern that they didnt over expand then what we experienced. Ive got a couple boxes of them left that i guess i just use to shoot coyotes as i doubt i will trust that bullet again on deer.

Interesting, I saw some complaints with that bullet on a Weatherby forum.

110gr. accubonds are simply great!

I've owned four .25-06 rifles over the years and I always liked the Sierra 117 gr flat base spitzer or the older semi-pointed bullets.  I have also used 100gr Sierra flat base spitzers which were consistently accurate for me as well, but always chose the 117 gr for hunting deer.
