Default RE: .257 caliber

I shoot a 25-06. Hands down best is the 100 grain Barnes Triple Shock over Reloader 19. My load clocksat 3200 fps. Expensive, but the best bullet out there.

I've only recovered two Barnes X-bullets from deer shot with my 25-06. Both shots were into the front sholder with the bullet recovered under the hide of the off-side rear leg (picture below). The bullet at left was from a shot just under 100 yards. The one at right was 190 yards.

You can see why I like them.
