I have two and love them.....I've used a Hornady 120 hollow popint for deer and pronghorns but have also used lighter bullets.

The 75 V-Max does p-dogs a bit of damage.....(at least)

Load them with IMR or H 4831 or 4350 or RL22 or 25

It (the 120) likes slow burning powders and puts venison in the freezer fast.

I highly recommend Loaddata.com. Makes for a pretty cheap online loading manual.

the two bit ought is easy to load for ... Take a powder in the 4350, 4831, r19-r25 ... I am partial to 100 gr TSX or Hornady Interlocks for deer (heavier bullets defeat the purpose of the 25 cal), am looking to spit some VMax's at sod poodles this summer.

But I always start my load searches at loaddata.

I've had good luck with 85g Nosler Ballistic Tip on top of 55.0g of RL-19, with CCI Br primers, set 0.025 off the lands. The manual lists 57g as max, but I haven't pushed it up that high yet.

75g V-Max with 53.0g of IMR 4350 also looked good (56.7g max).

The one thing that didn't work was the Winchester primers. They strung shots vertically over about 6 inches.

Do a search on here and you'll get plenty.
One is with a 115gr Barnes XLC (since discontinued) pushed with RL22, lit with WLR, in Win brass. The second is 117gr. Hornady SST, 52gr H4831, WLR, win cases. I'll post a pic of a 3 shot group I fired with it. This, from a sporter weight barrel, and bedded cheap factory plastic stock.

80 yds 100gr. TSX doing 3440fps, RL22, CCI 250

237yds, same load as above.

225yds, 100gr. Partition, doing 3400fps, RL22, CCI250.

My rifle has a 25" gain twist barrel, all bullets are impact plated with Moly.
Your Rem 700 ADl will not come close to these speeds with it's 22" bbl, but, even a couple hundred FPS will kill things dead as a post.

H4831SC and 117 grain Sierra Gameking. Most accurate load in my most accurate rifle. S40

Try:
75gr V-Max
56.5 gr H4350
Rem. brass
Rem. primer
Max. from Hodgdon is 58.5 gr of powder, but I get 3600 fps and great accuracy. Seat the bullets about .005-.010" off lands.

I've got 2 25/06's, one a Parker Hale varmint barrel 24", the other a S&W 1500, with a 22" tube. My Parker Hale likes 117gr Sierra's with 50grs of IMR 4831, a CCI 250 primer and Fed case. Vel is 3005ft/sec, and accuracy is 1/2 moa.( 117gr Sierra SBT that is.)
In my S&W, I use 120gr nosler SB(still have some),54grs of RL22, CCI 250primer, and Rem case. Vel checkes in at 2965ft/sec, and accuracy is appx 1 MOA.
Both are good and safe loads in my rifles.

Sure Larry, I've owned two of the 25-06s and both seemed to do well w/ the 115 grn NBTs ahead of IMR7828 52-54 grains.

Haven't tried the new IMR7828 SC yet but probably will on my next order.

Also had pretty good luck w/ R22 and 100 grainers.

Good Luck
