I haven't used them personally but i saw in the post (Speer Impact Bullets) that 1Shot used them on deer from a 6.5 Grendel with excellent results. The reviews that I've seen on them thus far have been positive.

I really like Speer bullets, they have always shot very well for me and performance on game has been excellent. I have been shooting the 120gr Hot-Cor in my 25.06 for a very long time and have enough stored up to last me a lifetime and i'm glad I did. I was using the 120gr .264 in my daughters...

Thanks everyone for the feedback and imput. I do appreciate it. Mike

Ok thanks for the heads up. Mike

I recently acquired a box of these from a guy who sold his .257 and I thought i'd try and work up a load for my 25.06. Problem is I can't find any load data out there anywhere for this combination. I was hoping to work with these during the holidays if I get the chance. I called swift Friday and...

My daughter has been shooting the Sierra 120gr Pro Hunter in her .260 for years with excellent results on deer. Her closest shot was about 50yds and her longest has been around 240yds with most being 150-200yds. The bullet has always performed well and i've only recovered a couple and they were...

The Pro Hunter is a good deer bullet. My daughter has been using the Sierra 120gr Pro Hunter in her .260 for years with excellent results with both accuracy and performance on deer. I don't think you'll have a problem what so ever with it's performance on deer. Mike

Thanks everyone for your imput i do appreciate it. I have no problems what so ever with the 120's they have worked well for me over the years. I was just curious about the 100's because it appeared so many people were using them over the 120's. Like they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it and...

I see from different forums and articles that lots of people who shoot a 25.06 for deer use a 100gr bullet. I've always used 120gr bullets myself and the lightest I've used was 110gr. Is there an advantage to using the 100gr over the heavier weights other than velocity? I was just wondering am I...

I'm a Speer Hot-Cor fan and have been using them for years on deer with excellent results. My personal favorite is the 120gr .257 Hot-Cor which sadly Speer no longer makes. I have about 600pcs on hand that I purchased when I was told they were going to stop producing this bullet so i'm good for...

Guy, great advise already given. I shoot a 50lb bow with a 100gr Thunderhead and have zero problems getting pass throughs on deer. I always shoot low behind the shoulder and aim for the lower 1/3. If the deer ducks (and they always do) I get double lungs and if not I get heart. This has always...

Guy, i too suffered from one of those attacks :), i sold a Rem 700 Classic that was an awesome shooter and if i had a rudder leg i'd still be kicking myself. I turned around and did the same as you and bought the CDL 25.06 and it has worked out very nicely for me as well. Back on subject ...

I've loaded and shot lots of different calibers over the years but my favorite caliber without a doubt is the 25.06 followed by the 30.06, .260 rem and the .308 win. Its really hard to choose a favorite because I love them all.

I've always owned Leupold scopes and have had good service with them for the most part. However, I have had some issues (tracking) with the last several vx3's I've owned and it has been very frustrating. I have a newer vx3i and so far it's been good. I have an older vx2 that tracks spot on and...

Good looking load and some fine shooting to boot. I've never loaded any scirocco's but I would love to give the 100gr .257 a try one day in my 25.06.

I agree it's certainly good to have options and to see manufactures stepping up and producing different bullets. I have to admit, that 130gr .264 is interesting no doubt and would probably work well in my daughters .260. However, she loves the 120gr Pro Hunter and it's performance on deer has...

I've been loading the Sierra 120gr Pro Hunter for almost 10 years in my daughters .260 Remington with excellent results in both accuracy and on game performance. She's harvested quite a few deer with this combination including some nice bucks. The majority of her shots have been between 100 -...

Awesome!, building memories that you both will never forget. My daughter also started reloading with me at the age of 8 and is now 17. She loads all her own ammo now but I still supervise the process. It's a great hobby and one that your daughter can take with her the rest of her life. Well done!

I personally would never use a bullet designed for varmits on deer, not even small deer. It may have been done before and there may be some still doing it but I think we owe it to the animal that we're hunting to try and dispatch it quickly and humanely and to use a bullet designed to do just...

I would love to hear how those scirocco's perform on deer. I've read great reviews on that bullet. I've always had great results with rl22 but just recently bought a can of rl25 to try out with the 120gr bullet but am now curious about the rl26. Anyone tried the rl26 with a 120gr bullet?
