[QUOTE="ReachOutNTouchSomething, post: 743686, member: 53466"] Completely agree, my Remington 700 25-06 is still my favorite gun i own. I love how guys are using the saying "put the crosshairs on what you want to hit from 0-400 yards" its is so true, personally i shoot a mild load of 53 gr h4831 and top it with a 117 gr sierra spbt gameking. I've had one deer move after being hit, ONE. This is an old load that was passed down along with the gun from my grandfather, his other load for the gun was pushing a 100gr NBT close to 3300 fps... its destructive. Lately ive been thinking about trying either the 75 gr V-MAX or 85gr NBT for a multipurpose varmint load but my time (and money) is being spent on my 308 build... but then again why fix something that aint broke. I have 100 cases laying around for the 25 and i know most if not all will end up with those 117gr sierras stuffed in them Longest kills with my 25-06: Groundhog - 468 (half dozen or so kills past 400, mostly with the 100NBT but the longest was with a sierra) Whitetail - 461, 398... and probably over 20 between 25-200 yards [/QUOTE]
