25 06 is the only rifle that I hunt with anymore. I load 120 grain partitions, and it just plain works. No more magnums, as my back can't take the recoil anymore. Elk and moose don't know the difference. Deer is bang flop.

2506 loaded with 120 grain partitions for moose whitetail and mule deer.

I had RCBS make me neck sizer dies for all of my rifles. Only time that the full length dies are used are with new brass or when I start to get a stiff bolt closure. I also anneal every 3 to 5 firings. My brass lasts for years, due to no unnecessary case stretching. I also trim to .005 below...

I used the 140 grain Hornady in the 270 WCF and 270 weatherby all of the time. Love them for elk. Flattens them with authority.

Fotis, my 222's loved WW748. one ragged hole with the 50 grain. Try it, and you won't be disappointed.

That is beautiful, Fotis. I have had a few with the steel plate over the years, and they hurt with a stout load. What are you planning on feeding it ?

That is very sad. Some people shouldn't have weapons of any kind.

Congrats, Fotis! I had two elk tags, and didn't even see one. I seen lots of whitetail and mule deer. Next week, four deer WILL be in the freezer.

Good going Guy. I love the 25 06.My back don't seem to mind it either.

I have taken truck loads of deer with the 117 grain Hornady at extreme ranges. Whoever said that they will not stabilize should give their head a shake. They work. For elk, a 120 grain Speer hotcore will totally ruin their day. The 25 06 is really underestimated. It doesn't kick the crap out of...

I lucked out with the mule buck and doe tags. I also got whitetail doe and cow elk. WT buck is across the counter. October can't get here soon enough.

Congratulations, Guy!

I will be using the Sako 75 25 06 on everything with the Nosler partition. Elk and moose fall over real quick, and it don't drop your drawers down around your ankles when you send it.

Mine prefers the 140 grain Hornady boat tail with a stout load of Reloader 22. IMR 7828 also gives more than acceptable results. Velocity is much higher with the 7828 as well.

25 06 in a Ruger #1, and you will be smiling forever.
