[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 204784, member: 704"] Lungdeflator like you for many years I didn't like Hornady ammunition. I also cant get the SST bonded to shoot in anything. However the new Precision Hunter shoots extremely well for me and I see they make it in 110 gr for the 25/06. If the velocity is high enough it will stabilize in a less than perfect rifling twist rate. I agree with Kurt on the 300 mag. I have a 28.25 inch barrel on my custom and I currently shoot 210 Berger VLD, but there is a box of 212 ELD-X on my loading bench. I tried a half dozen before deer season and the stayed on an eight inch steel at 1000 yards along with the VLDs. I didn't get a good velocity read on them since my Chrono said 3130 fps. I'll run them over the Chrono again this coming summer. I think one of the perfect rifles right now is the 6.5 RSAUM. It will push a 143 ELD-X over 3100, but my son talked with a bench rest guy with many trophies that said he thought the ideal velocity for accuracy out of a 6.5 with 140 gr is 3000 fps. I would like a 6.5 RSAUM, but my 6.5 X 284 is pumping out the 140 at 2960 fps so it's hard to justify. I have no experience with the Bagara, but they look very good to me too. [/QUOTE]
