I was looking at a Remington 700 BDL in 25-06 and was wondering if anyone had any experience using them on for deer and how are they on
accuracy and does it have enough knock down power?

In the Ruger No. 1V .25/'06 I used to have, one of the most accurate loads I developped used Norma MRP powder and shot a 117-grain Sierra Gameking at 3180 FPS @ 10' from the muzzle-very close to 3200 FPS. In addition to being very accurate, this load did NOT damage brass at all. But since it was "slightly" over what the book said was a maximum load, I cut it back a little. Talk about killing deer-they usually disappeared from view before I could recover the rifle from its' (slight) recoil-the deer always went straight DOWN where they were standing!
