    Finally got around to shooting it. Got it zeroed then shot a group at 200 yds with 110 ELDX factory.

    Not sure how I missed this the first time around. I love a 25-06 and that's a good lookin pea shooter.

    Good luck on the cow tag hunt!

    Deer death ray!!! Give the 100gr Ballistic Tip a try with some Rl-22 or H4831. That little bullet holds together better than it should…..so much so I called Nosler and asked why. The technician told me that they knew that a 100gr bullet in a .257 caliber would be driven fast in all know chamberings, so they made the jacket thicker and stout. It is a deer light switch.
    If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.

    Mine spits those stock federal 117 grain sierra gam kings deadly accurate.

    And of course they quit making them.

    I’ve always loaded 117 Sierras and 115 Noslers. Decided to give the Hornady Precision Hunter ammo a try. Very pleasantly surprised.

    The Federal Loading has been discontinued??? I’m pretty sure that Sierra is still making the 117 Gameking.
