I absolutely love my 30-06
Which ammo seems to run the best though an a bolt 25-06? Anyone know? The guy I purchased from said that winchester hollow point 120 grains were the best. Just didn't wanna be out there buying a ton of ammo to see what shot the best.
Unfortunately trying lots of ammo is the only way to find what is "best". Two rifles with sequential serial numbers may like different ammo.
For hunting you really just need to know what is good enough for the size target within a given range. For factory hunting ammo I look at bullet weight and construction for my intended game more than absolute best accuracy, especially with light fast bullets. Just so long as it has a decent group and not a shotgun pattern.
My 06 will shoot just about any factory ammo well enough for a deer inside 200 yards. My handloads or factory ammo it likes and that I have tuned in the BOSS for are substantially better though.
I would love to have a matching 25-06 in the safe, maybe one of these days when I am between kids in college.
