RE: Bullet for 243 and 25/06

I have had excellent results with the .25-06 using Federal Premium 117 grain Sierra GK's, 120 grain Federal Fusions, and 117 grain Hornady BTSP's. You can really make the .25-06 sing if you handload or know someone who will load for you.

Another vote for the 100 TSX Barnes in your 25-06.

RE: Bullet for 243 and 25/06

I dont reload. The reason I guess I'm asking is I often read post about folks dropping deer right where they shoot them. I have never had that happen unless a neck shot or my 30/06. I've killed several deer with my 25/06 and they always run.
