For those that shoot 25-06, what factory loads would you recommend for high velocity/ static shock effect? 115-120 grain is what I’ve always seen as standard, but I see some 90-100 grain loads.

117 sst hornady

100 Grain Federal Premium Barnes TSX are bad news.

I've killed them from 60 to 330 yards with the 117 grain Hornady Superformance SST. Body size ranged from 120 (doe) to 260 (mule deer).

Never had one take a step.

From what I've seen in the past cor- lok 117gr do pretty good

Saw one shot in in the rear at close to 400 yards bullet made it to the liver. Deer went 150 yards

This right here.

110 grain Accubonds have done very well in mine.

110 Accubonds were my go-to.

I used to shoot 100gr Hornady soft point at 3400fps. It killed like lightening. at close range, 30 yards, the bullet tended to explode with little penetration if ya hit a big bone going it. I quit using it after about 100 deer killed. LOL

Mine shoots the 117 the best

my Ruger #1 likes the Hornady 117gr

My Remington shoots the 100gr Cor-lokt best (0.75moa) but I almost never got a pass through on anything but younger does. Some fell DRT and others went 30-40 yards and piled up but I had to go look for them. Almost never a blood trail. There were a few nice bucks I never found. I’m using 117gr now but they print 1.5moa .

Hendershots will load the 80gr TTSX.

I shoot handloads that are not light for caliber.

110 grain Eld-x have done well out of mine.

Same here.

Hornady 117 will do whatever you want on whitetail and hogs. A decent 25-06 will do the job, if you do yours

80 grain ttsx loaded to 3600 in a 25-06 is very satisfying.

I shot good 8 about 6 years ago w 115 grain - did not get much blood - took over hour to find - didn’t go 85 yards - was not impressed w hole r blood - prob 160 yard shot - it’s been a safe Queen since

Missed this post - why don’t you see heavier weights w the 2506? I had to look and look - finally found 133 grain I gone try atleast at range

257 when he was on this site said he had some either 130 r 135 homemade loads for his 2506 that he said were awesome - I could believe that

I only found one place that sold higher weight and it was higher than a giraffes Butt in cost

Mine shoots 100 gr.much better than 120gr. Not enough twist to stabilize the heaver bullet.
