I took the new 25-06 Ruger to the range before my hunt next week. I had loaded some 115 grain Ballistic tips and had to try them out. I loaded 48.5 grains od IMR 4350 with a Standard CCI LG Rifle primer. The chronographed 2916 fps. According to the Nosler manual they should have run about 3000 fps. I quess thats pretty close. They grouped .70 inches for three shots. Pretty good the way I was shivering. It was only about 10 gegrees but the wind was calm. My 100 Grain Ballistic tips chronographed at 3064. They grouped about the same. I also chronographed the Winchester 115 ballistic silvertip factory load. It checked out at 2949 fps. The Ruger has a 24 inch barrel.
