I've had 5 rifles chambered in 25.06 and still currently have 2 so needless to say i love that caliber. My experience has been a little different in that everyone i've loaded for always hit the sweet spot with a nearly full house of powder and loaded near or around max. I've never loaded or used nothing under 115grs in my 25.06's. The 3 bullets i'm currently loading/using are the 115gr Partition, Hornady 117gr btsp, and the Speer 120gr spitzer. I've thought about trying some of the cor-lokts because the price is good compared to others i just haven't done it. I have shot them in my 30.06 in the past with excellent results in both accuracy and performance on game. I really don't think the cor-lokts deserve alot of the negative comments they recieve and if the truth be known they have probably taken more game than any other bullet out there.
