Anyone use 100 gr Sierra HPBT Match?I'm using them in a Ruger #1V 24",with IMR 4350 between 49-and51grs.I am trying some other Sierras 117,but like this bullet.Not happy with my recent results with it though.I shoot targets only at 100yds.Thanks

I load a 100 gr match over 54gr h4831(not sc)and average 1/2in at 200 yds.

I think 4350 is a bit fast for the overbore .25-06. You might want to try 4831 (H or IMR), RL22 or VV160/165. the VV line of powders are very uniform.

dsmit, if your 25-06 averages 1/2 in. at 200 yards you have one of the best shooting guns in the country.

This is not a "target load" but it is what I use for hunting:


5-shots, 200-yards

Bullet: Sierra 120 Grain HPBT
Powder: 47.7 grains of IMR-4350
Powder: 52.5 grains of Hodgdon H-4831
Primer: Winchester Large Rifle
Case: Remington
Firearm: Ruger 77R
Optics: Leupold 4.5x14
Velocity: 2922 FPS @ 15' from muzzle
(Both powders perform identical)

bflo tom, imr-4350 worked great out of my 25-06,my load came rite out of noslers manual,51 grains is max so work up to it, i used rem brass federals 210 match primers,she drove tacks at 100 so i took her out to 600 and she shot a 4.5 inch 5 shot group as fast as i could bolt and shoot, shes built on a rem 700 action blue printed of course and shes weares a 1/10 twist 26 inch crome/moly shielen barrel,its a sweet round thats 4 sure , your ruger should do great ...jjmp

Best load in my Parker Hale 25/06 is

117gr Sierra sbt
50grs IMR 4831
CCI 250--Fed case
10 ths from lands
This load shoots 1/2 moa if I do my part

There are a couple good loads mentioned here . Of course you'll have to wade through it to pick them out.

Did you try a search? Nate

i use the sierra 100 hpbt match in a savage 110fp with 24" bbl. my load is as follows:
remington brass
53.5gr IMR4831
cci primer
my last range outing i shot two 5shot groups slightly under .50; shot one 3shot group at 200 that calipered .723. i love the 25/06 with IMR4831.
