25-06 ?
what is the best bullet weight for deer hunting in a 25-06 for a ruger #1 ....

115 -
i'd pick the heaviest you can find , buddy of mine loaded some 85's , shot 3 pigs this past weekend, and only recovered one ... the other 2 ran off with no blood trail or pass through .. I think the ones he said worked better before were 105's. ...
if you don't reload , i'd just pick a bonded bullet of sort .. just nothing too explosive ... deer may be better than pig as far as bullet integrity .. you may be able to get away with it on deer ... not on pig .Comment

117 gr SST HornadyComment

Find something with the 115 Sierra gameking, federal I think. You won’t have a single issue.

I’ve shot federal fusion 120 gr. For years through my Weatherby 25-06. I’ve shot dozens of whitetail, antelope, pigs, and even aoudad with excellent results. I’ve personally used it out to about 350 yards with no issues.

I don’t know, but I’d buy that no.1 from you if it’s a red pad😄Originally posted by svbubba View PostComment

relative to size,
i have killed 250lb axis bucks, a 300lb red deer hind, 275lb aoudad ram and countless big pigs with that load... it hits way over its playing weight. and with less recoil, my accuracy is way better.Comment

i`ve had good luck with the 120 grain remington corlocks.Comment

Mine likes 110 grain accubondsComment

They have been discounted for a few years but the 120 grain Hornady HP Interlock is a great bullet for the quarter bore. Lucky I’m sitting on 3-1/2 boxes so I should be good for a few years.
