25-06 loads for Antelope

[Ron 6mm]

Hey everyone. I will be antelope hunting in Wyoming in October with my 25-06. I am interested to hear about some of the best loads you have used. Thanks in advance. Rp

115 gr BT under IMR 4831 worked well for a lot of game in my 25-06

110gr Accubonds have worked well from me 25-223 @ 2750fps and 100gr Barnes TSX from my 25-06AI @ 3550fps. Antelope are pretty easy to kill pretty much anything that shoots well and isn't a varmint bullet will be good enough.

85gr Noslers and 75gr VMAX aren't ideal for antelope at 25-06 speeds that's for sure.

I shot plenty with 87g Speer and Sierra's out of a 25/06, they flop.

115 HVLD over RL23. Lightning in a brass case.

I use a 115 berger and a stout load of retumbo.

80gr ttsx over imr4350. I'm getting 3650fps out of a 22" barrel. Bullet never leaves a 4" circle from 0 to 297yds.

Any bullet with IMR/H-4350 Or retumbo will work great

Let's start at the start..........to what ranges do you practice at on a consistent basis?

How many point do you have? Going on your own or outfitted?

Barrel twist?

 

[Ron 6mm]

I have 7 points, with an outfitter. 300 yards or less, hopefully around 200 yards. I prefer a stalk vs poking from afar.

 

[Ron 6mm]

Don't know the barrel twist. I'll check. It's a Ruger M77 MK II.

Any experience with Nosler Ballistic Tips?

..stiff load of H-4350, a Rem 9 1/2 primer and the Sierra 117 spitzer boat tail, about as good as it gets for all thin skinned deer sized animals...old fashion but deadly effective.
