Good point with the over thinking!...... I'm really good at that!.... I have OCD :wink: As far as borrowing, I'm not a fan of that either, that's why I wanted some opinions on the 25 working as a backup rifle. Just want this to be a memorable hunt and have as many bases covered as possible...

I never thought about the guy at work who has a 270.....I would think he would let me use it if I asked.

This is a good idea....What about a 270? I might be able to get my hands on one of those...

Thanks for reminding me about the recoil....never gave that a thought. The odds of even using this gun on this hunt are next to none... but needed some input from you guys. Looks like off to the range with the old 25 and get it dialed in as well. Thanks for your time and help! P.W.

I know it's not the perfect elk rifle.....but for a spare gun it might be ok. Just wanted your guys opinion on how well it work on elk ....or if we should ask for the 300 RUM from our friend and be done with it??? Thanks in advance, P.W.

I have about 100 110 grain AB bullets on hand.... but would consider buying 120 grain Partition bullets if need be. P.W.

Nice shooting...... at a deer at 550 yards!

Hello, Is a Rem 25-06 with say a 110-120 grain bullet good enough for a "spare" elk rifle? My boy is going to Utah this fall on his first elk hunt. His "main" rifle will be a 28 nosler, but we want to have a spare gun just in case something should happen to the 28. We know someone who has an...

Thanks guy's for all the input on this subject! Just ordered a bunch of bullets this morning and will be reloading this weekend. Then, more shooting for as much practice as we can get in this summer. P.W.

For all interested.... we're going to use the 160 grain AB pushed by approx 80 grains of H1000.....(still working on the exact power charge) This combo produced several sub MOA groups, at 300 yards! I'll let you guy's know the FPS with the chronograph after we go to the range the next...

Thanks for the kind words! The kid is a really hard worker started milking cows when he was 13....before/ after school for the local farmers, while maintaining excellent grades in school. Tomorrow is his 17th birthday and were headed to the range to get the ladder test done....will let you...

Thanks for the heads up....FYI.... I'm trying H1000 and we'll see how that goes first. Take care, P.W.

Just got done loading the 160 Gr. A.B.for shooting a latter test this weekend.....Will let everyone know the shooting results when completed. P.W.

I'm a firm believer in accuracy, shot placement and bullet performance. So....it's off to the range to see how each shoots. Thanks for the info!! P.W.

I like your thinking! "bayonet range" LOL Since neither of us has used a guide before I'm not real sure what to expect. I'm going to tell him to get us close as possible.

My son, 17 is going on a guided Utah elk hunt this fall.....Paid for the whole thing himself. I'm just trying my best to give him a combo that preforms the best.

Hello all, If both bullets shoot groups....What bullet would you use for elk out of a 28 nosler at approx. 3100 fps.....200-400 yard shots. 175 Grain partition or 160 grain AB? Thanks for your input, Pee Wee

DrMike, Would you be so kind to run the same bullet but with Retumbo powder? Thanks for your time and help!!!!!! P.W.

Thanks for your input!!

What would you consider starting low? Nosler has 75 grains of H1000 for 175 grain bullet
