I have a box of Nosler 85 gr BT's that I have for this very purpose. Problem is, Im having a tough time getting a load worked up for them. In fact Im having a hard time getting any reloads to work well for that gun. Ive tried 110 Accubonds, 115gr BT's, 85 gr Bt's and nothing is grouping well with any powder. However I can go buy a box Federal Gamekings and it will shoot under an inch sooooo go figure. [&:]

My favorite load thus far for my .25-06 is using 75 gr. Hornady V-Max's pushed by IMR 4350. They have been very, very deadly on coyotes.

I've tried a few loads with larger bullets, but I haven't been able to get sub-inch groups out of anything else. I've had very consistent groups with these, and they were shooting right around 3/4" last time I was at the range. I think the loads are actually a little better than that, but I can't seem to make it to the range when the winds aren't gusty.

I concur with North Texan, I shoot the same loads and they are the best grouping I have loaded so far(Tikka T-3 lite). As far as coyotes go I have shot 5 with it and withno hide damage.
