Shot this five shot group today at Silverdale with the 25-06 using 56gn 2209 pushing a 75gn V Max out of a Rem. case with WLR primers, Im pleased to say the least!
Group measured 0.610" minus the .257 gave me 0.353"
Best group yet with the 25-06 and home rolled ammo

nothing wrong with that group, would be nice to be sitting over a gully watching a mob of goats and knowing your rifle will shoot like that. Go get those big Varmints

Excellent mate, that is why I love the .25/06 - it is bloody good!!
Re: Best group yet with the 25-06 and home rolled ammo
Yep, its fast becoming my favourite! I got some hornady 117gn SST's that I swapped from Brad (I think 
) and scored a group of just on an inch straight off, so I bought a box from HPGS on the way home!

Nah that'll do me I think! Getting the 250 re barrelled soon so they might get tighter!!Why would the average punter need a custom when they shoot like this out of the box!
Re: Best group yet with the 25-06 and home rolled ammo
well done ! 
and coincidently i was at the range today testing those 117gn SST's and am quite happy for an undeveloped test load.
this was my 25/06AI with AR2217 and cci magnum primers.
ill fiddle a little with it and the next group in the range which looked to be heaps better but i jagged one flyer
so ill try em both with a couple 5 shots for an honest evaluation. but cant wait to pop a porker !

Re: Best group yet with the 25-06 and home rolled ammo
just for shits and giggles this was the next group in line, but sadly a pulled the second shot
i called the bad shot before i checked the target, but do you think its worth re-testing it ?

Nice group mate and you are spot on, some of the factory rifles can really shoot these days.

Model 70,
Those 75 V maxs should be flying out around 3500 -3600 fps and they will make a mess of anything they hit. Dont be afraid to use them on pigs and goats either, they are emphatic killers.
Long live the Quarter Bore.
cheers
