Now I see back in 2009 that Monkey Spanker recommends the Nosler 100 grain B/T in the 25-06:-
Hmmm not sure I can get Vec tan around here but will enquire. Reloader 19 yes but had to switch to magnum primers with it as was getting delayed ignition in the 25-06 with the particular load being tried.
Now has anyone any experience of using these Sierra 100 grain bullets on Deer in the UK. At the moment I am using H4831 powder and it shows promise will be testing my theory about the extra mod weight on end of barrel later once a load a few more to try.
But it seems I can get these bullets locally and the price is not too bad I did get a load developed with the Speer 120 grain flat based bullets but it appears that Speer have dropped these for their new super line up So am searching for a new bullet/load combination.
I use a 25.06 all the time - mainly cos It's my only deer rilfe!
I only ever use 100 grain Nostlers with 50 grains of Vectan 7000, or reloader 19 powder. I have just tried using Nostler partitions which were Ok but didn't seem to drop deer on the spot like the Ballistic Tips do. They were not as accurate either. I have shot both sexes of all 6 deer in the uk with it now, including huge 'Lowland Red' stags. Seems to work fine for me!
