I just purchased a used Ruger M77 MKII 25-06 (Black Pad). Trying to narrow down what ammo will shoot best out of it. What factory ammo does your Ruger 25-06 like best?
Thanks in advance!
I can tell you it doesn't matter if you compared the exact same rifles that had successive serial #'s, they both will like one ammo more than the other. I have a Ruger Heavy Barrel .25-06 and it likes 117 gr. Black Hills sst's
Can't say anything about factory ammo, but my Tikka T3 Lite likes 120 gr. ballistic tips fast. The hotter i load them, the tighter the groups. Nowhere near max loads yet.
Mine likes the federal 117 gr Sierra boat tails. I did have to sand down the barrel channel a bit due to barrel touching stock. Shoots 1/2" groups. Never tried the sst in this gun, just personal preference not a fan of the tipped bullets.
