100gr Partition and IMR4831.

 

[RT2506]

117 Sierra Pro Hunter, 49 grs IMR or AA 4350, CCI 250 primer in a Remington case 3000 fps. Tack driver and drop a deer in it's tracks.

First year with the 25-06 and am planning on using the 110gr Accubond because of prior experience with 7mm-08 and 300 RUM with the Accubonds. Any of the above will work just fine, but your rifle should tell you what it wants.

For what it's worth, I know the Berger's are extremely accurate killers and I use them for paper or varmints in all of the rifles I own, but I don't really like the idea of sending thousands of tiny pieces of lead throughout the meat I intend on feeding my family with.

HBN coated 115 GR Berger, IMR 4831. LH Browning X bolt. No deer yet. Hopefully this fall.

That's why you shoot them in the vitals, and not the shoulder.

And based on my experiences, Accubonds can still grenade, and they can also pencil-through with a failure to open.

So Berger's don't open up when they hit vitals??? Ok...

A fragmenting bullet is designed to fragment, Berger's are designed to shed 40 - 90% of mass in itty-bitty pieces of fragmented lead. Hey, I really don't care if you use them, some guys really dig that bang-flop deal. I kind of like walking a blood trail over eating toxic metal, but that's just my opinion... And I really hate to waste a good shoulder that could go on the smoker. So I never aim shoulder!!!

Yes, do you eat the heart, lungs, and guts and rib meat of the animal? I don't... But I guess some people do...

 

[Buckskinner]

Hell yeah I eat the heart! Best part aside from inner loins...

All bullets can fragment, but Berger's are designed to... Not something I'm gonna use on game that I'm gonna eat.

Hopefully I'll have my reloading set up, up and running before this coming deer season.
I'm planning on slinging these pills as fast as accurately can.

Will you be testing any of the heavier bullets, ELD match 130s from Hornaday?
