[QUOTE="bigdog2, post: 392187, member: 1311"] Thanks for the interesting article. I've been shooting a 25-06 for 30 years so your preaching to the choir here but more good information is always good to read. I agree with "BillR" that the heavier builts are where I believe the 25-06 really comes into it's own. These longer bullets have very good coefficiencies, and the Nosler 115 Ballistic Tip hunting bullet is lately my favorite. And for Trapshooter, while I haven't shot mine a lot in the wind at 600 yards at paper targets, I have done it enough to see a major improvement over what happens to my 22-250 rounds at 600yds in the wind. However, my wish would be for Hornady, Nosler or Sierra to make a lighter-built 100gr varmint bullet with a ballistic tip. I've always thought that an interesting 25 caliber cartridge that has very little following, is the 25-308 or 25 Souper. I shoot one years ago that my father-in-law had built up on a Mauser Action, and it really had some zip, though I didn't have a chrony in those days. It certainly should ballistically stand very near to the 25-06 in the 25-caliber line up, but should use a bit less powder. [/QUOTE]
