[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 3032946, member: 123382"] I am a little late replying to this thread; however, I am a HUGE fan of the 25-06, in fact I have 3 (2 SAKO's and a Browning X-Bolt) of them. The load I load up for my daughters is Barnes TTSX 100 grain; 53 grains of IMR 4350; averaging about 3,350fps. I could probably load this load a little hotter; however, it shoots good, drops deer in their tracks (depending on shot placement of course) and does the job well. My daughters' SAKO's have 23" barrels. For my Browning X-Bolt (24" barrel), I go with a totally different load as follows: 110 grain Hornady ELD-X; 55.7 grains of Alliant PP4000MR; averaging 3,250fps. Recently I have started using a 6.5PRC (have 2 of them now) that I love as well; however, my Browning 25-06 X-Bolt is my back-up gun. We hunt whitetails in Northwest Louisiana and the 25-06 has severed us well and been an EXCELLENT deer cartridge for many, many years. My youngest daughter started out with a 243 youth model when she was 10 years old and that was fine; however in 2 years she was shooting her SAKO 25-06 with ease. She is now 26 and still loves her 25-06. It is a rifle that she can use for a lifetime. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
