Looking for recommendations on factory ammo for whitetails in .25-06. Gun is Sako 85 stainless, Zeiss Conquest, leupold QR mounts. Here's what I've tried, and the group sizes are to the right in parenthesis:
Hornady Custom 117 gr. BTSP (1.75")
Hornady Custom 115 gr. SST (1.5")
Federal Premium 120 gr. Nosler Partition (2.5-3.0")
This gun is guaranteed to produce MOA, so I'm not content with what I've got. Anyone have any experience with other factory loads?
You might want to call Beretta and ask them what ammo they shoot thru their rifles for the accuracy warranty. I can tell you that an SPS 25-06 while one of the worst made 700 I have owned shot groups half of what your getting with 100 grain corelockts. Loosen and then tighten your stock screws in an even manner as per owners manual. RUn a piece of typing paper down the barrel channel and make sure it doesn't hit anywhere until it butts up against the receiver. How well do you shoot other rifles you own?
