Thanks for the info! Has anybody shot deer with the 75gr v-max. My friend uses them for his .257 Roberts and loves them. I know a lot of people consider this a varmint and coyote round only. Open to all opinions.As for the powder, I think it will be either the 4350 or 4895. Has anybodyhad any trouble with certain brands of primers for the 25-06.Thanks for the help!
