Default RE: Barrel Twist Rate question

ORIGINAL: petrey10

I have a 25-06 Rem and the barrel twist rate is 1-10 so I was curious what is the recommended max that I shoot with this twist rate? does speed hae a role in this too? I am just getting into reloading and I am pretty sure I will start with 85gr Noslers but I would like to try some 110s maybe even a 120gr bullet and see what the gun does.... I am mostly shooting coyotes but I shoot for fun a lot....I dont save the pelts just want to get rid of the stupid yotes...thanks in advance
120 grain bullets normallywork just fine in a 1/10" barrel on the .25/'06. In fact, that twist is acceptable for any and all "normal -weight" bullets in .25 caliber..... (85-120 grains of regular length- a VLD of 120 grains might cause difficulties)
