Generally speaking, factory rifles come in a twist that suits mid weight range of projectiles for that cartridge. A quick Google search reveals that's the standard twist for a 25-06. So it should be OK...for something. Try including a bit more detail in your question, you'll get more useful answers..

I have a Remington Sendero .25/06 1:10. Shoots 115gr NBT & NBST beautifully. Would have no trouble with a longer bullet. Used to have a BDL also 1:10 - 120gr bullets were fine in that.

Handy .pdf file for future reference....
