Any one out there shoot this combination? I'm looking for a starting point, fyi,,I have a 26" Shillen, 1:10tw.
If you can't get them to shoot try the 85 gr NBT's. They hit hard and are very explosive and accurate. The 75 gr V Max also shot very well but have only shot it at paper. Used H4831 SC for the powder.Thanks guys for the abvice and help,,Greg
I've killed around a dozen Texas whitetail & probably 5 times that many hogs w/ Sierra 90s & a max load of IMR 4350. Let my cousin talk me out of that rifle several years ago......still regretting that one!I shot a 5 gallon bucket of bullets, sierra 2nds years ago on jackrabbits and coyotes. I used IMR 4350, right up at a max load for the rifle. Play with primer choice and seating depth, you are going to be shocked at the accuracy. The accuracy node in a Rem 700 V, Ruger V, and Savage 112J was in the 3300 fps area or a tad more.
Winchester brass is the toughest. I bumped the shoulder each firing with a Forester/bonanza neck sizer, cases lasted 12+ firings, and I never annealed in those days.
The 25/06 and 90g Sierra is a very accurate combo with a rifle that is bedded, freefoated, tuned trigger, and has a high power scope.
Rock Chucks took off like bottle rockets when hit with this combo.
