2506 Ammo for deer hunting

[hunter68]

What ammo are you using for deer hunting in the 25-06? Anyone use 100 grain?. What are your results?

Ive had good luck with federal fusion and winchester deer season xp. The feds are 115 and winchester are 120

115 Berger’s in most, one rifle prefers the 110 Accubond.

Any of em. They’re all good. Just think of how many deer are shot with 243s and 223s.

My old red pad Ruger preferred the Winchester 120-gr Positive Expanding Point from day one. Then it got hard to find and I worked up a load with 120-gr Hornady bullets, and within the past couple of months, someone on here showed me a site and I bought 4 boxes of the Win ammo---set for life I'm thinking. Might have to use some on pigs.

Yes.
100 grain barnes ttsx is what might gun likes best in factory ammo.
Killed 3 or 4 deer last year with it.

I’m going to try the 110 gn Accubond with a healthy dose of
Reloader 22 sending it on its merry way. Seems to be pretty accurate outa my Pro Hunter.

If I’m lucky enough to get something kilt with it I’ll post it here.

As long as you’re shooting anything designed to expand you’re fine. That bullet is gonna hit so stinking fast the insides will melt.

I shoot 100 gr Core Lokt and it’s a freakin hammer.

This is what I have Used... I've only shot 3 deer with a rifle in the last 17 years but all 3 were with this ammo and all 3 dropped. (does)

[Pilgrim]

117 gr Sierra game king or 115 gr nosler partition, never run more than 30 yds

[COACH_EM_UP]

120 Core-Lokt or 117 grain Hornady BTSP. The Sendero loves both of them. I like the 117 grain the best.
