25-06 Deer Hunt and Cartridge/Load Discussion

[@andyblackwoodblackwood2931]

The 25 06 is my favorite deer rifle

[@guyminer3168]

Mine too.

[@alvinmorrow3072]

I love my 2506 and my 3006 and now I got me a 33806 that is really fun

[@ClarkHerkes]

My First Rifle was a Remington 700 BDL in 25/06 . I had the Barrel Floated and Crowned. I used 115 GR. Nosler in my Hand Loads . I have taken 14 Pronghorns and 13 Mulies with that Combo . I wouldn’t even consider using anything else .

[@oldad6207]

My 25-06 with 117grs Sierra SBT is my favorite rifle and load.

[@brianwood1726]

what a beautiful package.. note the scope height above the barrel.. i still believe the closer the line of vision parrallel to the center of the bore, that scope almost sits on barrel.. there not carry handles.. the more condensed the package is the easier it is to carry..

[@donaldrussell4218]

The IMR 4831 and RL 22 work good in the 25-06.

[@guyminer3168]

Yes they do!

[@Oculus729]

Best gun video I've seen in a while. Thanks.

[@davidl8425]

Wow two very intelligent gentlemen with great information, thanks for the video i will now reload for my 25 06....

[@georgeclark6629]

The 25-06 is my go to for deer hunting. I have killed many with it over 50 yrs. It has never failed me.

[@guyminer3168]

Good to hear! I like it as well. My favorite deer cartridge.

[@ukwan]

More Guy content.. this particular Guy is awesome!

[@pokyspud]

I inherited a 1977 rifle very similar to the subject of the video: 700 BDL with a 24" heavy varmint barrel in 25-06 Rem. It is a very capable rifle. Before the recent onset of heavy 257 bullets, the Speer BTSP at G1 .480 was the highest BC I could find. That bullet over a heavy charge of RL 25 or Retumbo bangs steel plates out to 3/4 mile without much fuss at all. I even stretched it to 7/8 mile. A 120 gr Partition over 7977 groups (5 shots) under 1" at 200 yards if I do my part (sometimes I do!). So even with hunting bullets, it is easy to shoot respectable groups. And 1000 yard shooting is well within its capability for target shooting, and really underestimated in that regard. Nice video, gentlemen!

[@aaronmclean8671]

Guy is my hero

[@danblumel]

I know a guy the regularly hunts Elk with 25-06 115 grain bullets I believe.

[@Lthrnk0331]

My dads been using one for years. Absolute tack driving deer slayer.

[@seenred314]

I’ve had mine since 98. Love it 75gr vmax 3600. 100gr TSX mule deer 100 core lock antipope

[@peterjohnson170]

It's punches out of its class for sure. I have a ruger no. 1

[@droberts73543]

25-06 is an exultant round I use to hunt chucks with it and have taken a few chucks at a thousand yards...punch a .25 hole on entry and a silver dollar exit, and have taken a few white tales with zero tracking do to the fact that they drop in their tracks....Love it!!

[@guyminer3168]

A thousand yards! Wow!

[@danielmatthews3420]

I love the 25-06 Remington

[@curlyyoder]

One of my all time favorites. Got a heavy barrel Ruger M-77 in 1975. This rifle has kilt ever thing from prairie dog to elk. Tried all bullet weights. Shoot Sierra 87 gr PSP 53 gr. IMR 4350. On every thing. On big game bullet does not exit. Good penetration no exit. Total bullet fragmentation makes a big blood clot on the back side. Hard on meat on a shoulder shot. Accurate enuf for an ear shot at closer range. Big game takes the full shock as bullet doesn't exit. Down fall of the 25 is it is hard on fur. Blows huge holes in fur bearing predators. Got a 220 Swift for the predators. Problem solved. 25 chrono's at 3250. Have had issues with copper fouling. Sweets cleans it up. My go to's are the Swift...the 25 and the 7mm Rem mag...the 25 for a one gun owner will do all. User friendly recoil tolerable. My son's have 25's they shoot 90 gr. Sierra HPBT and 115 gr bullets. For every thing black bear included. They load some reloader 22. Hit a 20 inch gong with my sons rifle at 700 yards..requires optics and calibrations...awesome round!

[@SilverBullet22250]

Sierra makes a 70 grain Blitz King bullet in a 25 caliber. 58 grains H4350 is giving me 3700 FPS in a 25-06

[@stevenwalker7928]

My favorite round it has enough of everything except recoil

[@warnniklz]

My grandpa loves his 25_06 Ackley. Was always chasing speed... I think I still have his load data. But he shot basically all the deer species in British Columbia with it. Now my dad totes it around... The kicker is, the rifle weighs something like 14 pounds.

[@rexkreusel4127]

Thanks … a very enjoyable discourse…

[@lagoonrd4173]

Set up stainless rem700 with H&S precision stock luepold prw rings bases cds 3-9x40 … I’ve used h1000 with 100gr ttsx but staying with imr4350 for best groups I’ve hunt nothing but mule deer with this and taken a few coyotes longest shot is at 415yds the bullet went through rib heart rib and was lodged just inside the outside shoulder. Love this round

[@heethen112]

I have a ruger m77 that I got as just a barrel and trigger which I built everything else, I had it sent to ruger to check head space for the bolt I had my dad make, w/4.5x14x50 Leupold vari x varmint reticle I had to have the mounts made by my dad as well because the factory were full turret of horizontal off. I have a trigger assist I actually like. Bedded floated on a beautiful Boyd’s thumb while stock green/gray/blonde. I have taken everything antelope (400+) deer, coyotes (600) rock chuck (pot guts) elk (225) and they guy who gave me the gun says he took a moose don’t know the bullet yardage or size of moose but he swears it.. my current load is with these Berger also sierras barns with 4064 which has treated me great

[@north61]

I have had good luck with the Speer 120 BTSP. at 3070 with RL25. Wonder how it will do on game? Took two caribou with 117 Hornady factory loaded BTSP at 2975 and it put big holes in the off-side and instant kills at 175 yards.

[@ampersandmcvinegar5681]

.26-06 and .270 are my all around faves. ✊

[@waynemensen4252]

Good one. I have a 1990ish Savage Tactical 110 hvy LH. Every whitetail since has been with this one. I have another 111 LH, standard barrel with peep sights for deer drives. Quit do them, so it's only hit target's. Just bought a RH 111. Very popular for Mule deer and Antelope. Maybe rock chicks, but let it cool down in between. The barrel will outlast most hunters!

[@rayhuggart5214]

I love your train of thought..I use a 6 power on my 30 o6 . Just for simplicity. It works awsome.

[@russellnorman7289]

This gentleman is an absolute breath of fresh air in a “tacticool” hunting world. I have an old Remington 700 in 25-06 and it’s a gem. It’s nice to see practical thinking in a field rifle. The fixed 6 is a fantastic choice for a scope. I can’t wait to see more of this.

[@gradyhernandez4699]

No 270

[@kevinc.thorstenson3603]

I have quite a few guns. My favorite gun is my Parker Hale .25-06. I have taken dozens of mule deer and many elk with this rifle. It’s a flat and fast shooting gun. I have taken elk at 400+ yards. If you are a good shot, it has plenty of take down power.

[@KevinBurdine-k4t]

Great content on this channel. I've been thinking that using a hard (non-deforming) FLUTED bullet in small but fast calibers,--including the 25-06, 6mm creed, .243, etc- would make these calibers we love to shoot for speed and long range, also excellent at hunting all species smaller than elk. The idea is opting for non-expansion to achieve deep penetration and a blood trail, possibly busting through both shoulder blades.. but also with flutes (like Xteme Defender or Xtreme Penetrator) in order to deliver an impressive permanent wound cavity in lieu of mushrooming. I'd love to hear what you guys think of this and how practical fluting a small caliber would be. Perhaps it isn't practical with a speer point and would require a wider nose original bullet. I don't know. I do know that ammo manufacturers currently and perhaps exclusively use fluted bullets in either defensive handgun loads or large dangerous game loads. But those are slow! Imagine the benefit those flutes would get from the speed of a 25-06, .243, or 6mm creedmoor! I'm not currently a reloader so I hope to learn from your expertise.

[@Me2Lancer]

Enjoyed the post on the 25-06. It's been a favorite cartridge of mine for more than 20 years.

[@chuckkulick8635]

Just saw this video on 25/06 and have 2 1 tc encore and a Ruger Hawkeye love the rifles and always had good accuracy and velocity with imr 4831 with all bullets rel26 and 23 very good too but 8133 is a must try for good accuracy and velocity with heavy bullets just a real deer killer for some reason that 25/06 kills things DRT more so than any caliber it seems

[@guyminer3168]

It really does a fine job with the DRT doesn't it? Sadly IMR 8133 isn't available anymore. I'm hanging onto my last pound of it...

[@MrBulletDan]

I found a 25-06 in my LGS for about $700. It had been made by a local gunbuilder by the name of Ray Lynn. It was a work of art built on a Mauser receiver with a beautiful stock with a maple chunk at the forend and a layer of maple at the bottom of the pistol grip. The trigger was awsome and I returned at a later date with my $700 in my pocket. Alas as I was awaiting the attention of the gunny I glanced down into the display case and there to my amazement was a pristine Browning Hi-Power. It turned out to be made in '82 in Belgium and also assembled in the same country. It was NIB condition. Not a mark on it and examination of the internals revealed that it had hardly been fired at all. That Browning followed me home and the 25-06 remained behind. The Browning turned out to be a an excellent shooter and it is in my rotation of carry guns to this day. It still remains in top notch shape without a scratch on it but has devoured thousands of handloaded 9 MM cartridges. I removed the magazine disconnect and replaced the trigger and it has a very nice trigger now. The original was not optimal for my usage. So for the future I do not plan on bothering with a 25-06 since I really have no need for one as my hunting days are long over and I have more target rifles that all need love. A pair of Garands, a pair of Lee Enfields, a 38-55 Marlin, a 38-55 H&R, a CZ 223, a 50-90 Sharps by Winchester Model 1885 and a CZ .22 LR.

[@mikelewis7269]

I have acquired a (25 Boomer) 25x39 varmit gun. Have yet to work up a load but hope to get on it this fall. The parent case is a 7.62x39 and the rifle is a Ruger mini-30. My goal is to use it for coyotes.

[@geraldbatts575]

Don't forget 8mm-06 and 35 When.

[@guyminer3168]

Great cartridges! As is the 338-06.

[@dougr5379]

my favorite big game cartridge. For handloaders, the 25-06 is superb. In a 26" barrel and slow burning powders, the cartridge really shines.

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Who needs a creedmoor when the 2506 is a proven round

[@gradyhernandez4699]

I have a 25-06 rifle. In Texas . Really overlooked is the 2506

[@carllangley1764]

I have hunted with my father's remington 700 bdl 25-06 since I was 14. Many mule deer have been taken with it and the longest walk any of them took was 2 steps forward a left hand turn to a complete side shot then drop! This was at approximately 530 yards , which is the longest shot I've ever taken with it!! It is a fantastic gun and cartridge!!! I've never had any penetration problems with it! I'm now 51 years young and still shooting it!!!

[@dukedenarie5858]

Have you or Guy hunted in New York State? Catskill mountains where I am have a very high density of wildlife. If you haven’t been here, do a little research on the area and if you guys ever want to come, I’d show you around the cheap (yet decent) places to stay just outside the wilderness areas. That way you can avoid MASSIVE air B&B prices and you’d be ten minutes away from great spots for white tail, black bear and turkey.

[@richardbellam5]

How do you get the pine taste out of those mule deer? I quit hunting them because of that.

[@nebraskaman8247]

Want to really piss someone off. Tell a guy with a 257 Weatherby they should have gotten a 25-06.

[@bullhunter20jw33]

Love my 25-06. It is a close 1st to my 22-250 as my favorite caliber. I've shot more game with it than any other caliber. Elk, Deer, Antelope, Coyotes, and Rock chucks. I own many other tried and true calibers in the reloading manual, and I always grab this first for deer. My Dad gave it to me for Christmas when I was 15, and I'm now 43 and its killed every deer and antelope I've harvested since. It"s exactly like Guy says, always dead on at the range every year. It is an early 90's Remington 700 BDL 24" sporter barrel with a Leupold VARI-XII 3-9x scope. I call it "ole meat in the pot". I also have one exactly like Guy's, but I always go to old reliable. 25-06 is a way underrated caliber IMHO. Great video! Bullet manufactures need to give us more 1/4 bore bullet selection!

[@paradigm-wx6bn]

What about the newer, longer higher BC bullets??? I have heard of a new 130 grain(!)...

[@davidpayne3604]

I bought my REM 700 bdl in 1969 right after the cartridge was standardized. I was 14 years old, put it on layaway and was paying $10/week at Keith’s hardware in Fairfield, Al, which had a nice little gun dept and a full reloading area. I kept paying ever week till I paid off the princely sum of $169 for the rifle. I was already set up for reloading for my 44 mag Super Blackhawk, so I had the dies already purchased for the 25/06 when I brought home the rifle. H4831 was my powder of choice, which was $1.45/lbs in the old black and red Hodgdon cardboard containers. The rifle was bughole accurate, had installed a $19 Tasco scope I purchased at a JCPenney sporting goods dept and mounted with Redfield bases and rings, which are still on 53 years later. I replaced the Tasco after about 10 years with a Bausch & Lomb 2.5/8, although there was no problem with the older Tasco at all. I have used that old Tasco on other numerous rifles over the years with zero problems. The 700 has been shot so much the engine turning on the bolt is like glass, but even with all the rounds put through it, is still an exceedingly accurate rifle. I have been a shooter and gun collector all my life and am still active in multiple shooting sports. Count me in with yourself as an absolute 25/06 aficionado. Keep up the good work !!!

[@waylonlegend4603]

I’ve got a model 700 Classic 25-06 new in box. I’m debating on throwing a scope on it.

[@johannesvanhoek9080]

25-06 , 270, 7mm and 300 win mag are my favorites PS good video 👍

[@Gokywildcats11]

Just purchased the savage axis Ii xp black Friday deal. Hope it shoots good

[@kerrypurcell6022]

the 25-06 is about the best there is,,,,,,i have taken many large bull elk with mine,,,over 20 head with this cartridge and good loads,have used the 264 magnum as well and the 30-06,,,,but the 25-06 has always done the job,,,,,i have 7 25-06s ,,for me its the best all around cartridge for the west,,,,,,

[@deepmarsh]

Any videos on loading 25-06 from 30-06 brass?

[@Ultimatereloader]

Great suggestion! :)

[@colewk1989]

[@joeltowle2737]

Great hunting story!

[@scottzipperer6146]

In Florida 6 power is a bit much most shots are under 100 or even 50 and trees and brush everywhere

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

I’m contemplating purchasing either a Winchester model 70 featherweight ( 22” barrel ) or a Winchester model 70 Sporter ( 24” barrel) I kinda like the Featherweight better as it just feels quicker and handier, as opposed to the Sporter that’s a little longer and about 8 ounces heavier . Do you think that 2” shorter barrel is really anything to be concerned with in regards to lost velocity ?

[@twolak1972]

Taking the 25 Neidner and commercializing it like they did was the smartest thing Remington ever did. Have a very fond place for it like my IRREPLACEABLE 7MM REM MAG.

[@Do-UR-Research2749]

264 WM necked down to quarter bore (25 cal). 3450 fps with nosler 115 grainers

[@matthewmichaels5522]

I use my Ruger 25-06 with 75gn vmax hand loads @3500fps for small to medium game. Zeiss optics BDC. My first shot on a crow after load testing was a 367m head shot. That's a 2" target. Holy crap. It's a death ray.

[@outdoordoc1971]

Would you consider doing something on the 6.5-06 !?

[@bmoorear]

Guys is an incredibly nice guy. A few years ago we messaged back and forth on a forum, he got me pointed towards the 700 CDL in 25-06 for my second 25-06. It is one of the nicest rifles I have ever carried/hunted with, it is sleek, light and incredibly accurate with 80grn TTSX at 3600fps using H4831. I use it as a predator calling rifle and it will take them clean WAY out there. If you want a great rifle that's easy to carry with traditional great looks this is the one. Great video.

[@johngaertner9603]

Had my 25-06 since 1980 in Rem 700 bdl and love it. I had a twin in 30-06 that was stolen and loved the feel buddy talked me into the 25 and have no regrets.

[@danpollard4210]

I have heard that arsenic used in bullet alloy hardeneds tn copper jacket this may be of some use in high velocity applications just thinking may be wrong.

[@mcinnis79]

Gavin/Guy, I'm building a 25-06 AI with Tikka action, heavy benchmark 26" barrel, MDT chassis, custom Corlanes Sporting Goods muzzle break, still looking at scopes. Looking at the new Berger 133 grain bullets. Thoughts?

[@mcinnis79]

1:8 twist

[@johncornett7575]

It's a very good cartridge I have been shooting it for quite some time hiload 53 grains Hodgens 4831 and 120 grain Hornady hollow point in a worked Winchester brass Magnum primer my longest shot with the 25/ 06 was in Granville County North Carolina on a whitetail deer 558 yards it's a very good cartridge if there ever was the perfect deer size game cartridge in my opinion this is it

[@kathyortiz8774]

I like the small diameter/ lots of powder concept for flat shooting. I had a choice between a 270 and a 25-06, and I chose the 25-06 for flatter trajectory and lower recoil. When I go specifically for elk, I use my 7mm Rem Mag, also a flat shooter. Joe

[@jameswilson2424]

Great video! Thank you both! I'm old school to the core. I still shoot Game Kings and Interlocks in both 30-06 and 25-06. The older I get the more I lean to the 25-06.Love the light recoil!

[@geraldroberts4721]

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

My most accurat rifle is my ruger number 1 in 2506 shoots. 1/2 inch or less at 100 yards

[@tjames525]

This is the only caliber I use for mule deer and whitetail. Hornady SSTs drop them real fast.

[@chuckcafiero4546]

It's a great Coyote and antelope hunting round.

[@hogman2276]

I liked my 2506 a bolt medallion, till the 25wssm Abolt came along. Lighter recoil!. 117SST -superformance powder. I Would like to see the 7-08 and CX bullets

[@kevinwalton3528]

I have a 25-06 Ruger American believe it or not. It has been an awesome rifle and very accurate with 75gn VMAX and 117gn Hornady interlocks. It’s topped with a 4-16 Nikon monarch and a Boyd’s thumb hole stock. Only thing is it’s one of my heavier guns so it’s really only used for times when I know I won’t be walking all day out here in Kansas.

[@guyminer3168]

The Ruger American is an impressively accurate rifle!

[@tomlarue654]

Awesome deer cartridge

[@TexasPocketPistols]

I have hunted with a 25-06 for 40 years and love it. The recoil is light enough to enjoy practicing.

[@markhunter879]

Know how you feel. Been using a 25-06 for 40 years like you have.

[@cbsbass4142]

Guy, do you think a 250 Savage would be best for someone that mostly target shoots in the .25 realm? 257 roberts, in terms of what would be easiest on barrels?

[@guyminer3168]

Oh gosh... I don't know. Don't hesitate to also check out the Creedmoor, necked to 25 cal... All the advantages of the modern case design, and a fast-twist 25 cal barrel. It's impressive.

[@Gokywildcats11]

25/06 1 in 10 twist. 100 grain or 117. For best results. Any recommendations.

[@johnmuffy2848]

how easy is it to form 25-6 from once fired 30-06?

[@terrycostakis6284]

I was one of the people who was somewhat critical of your channel recently for so many videos revolving around very high end reloading equipment. I'm happy to walk that comment back because it appears that you're starting to cover some different areas such as hunting and more affordable (to many of us) equipment and builds. Thank you.

[@moonshinerjack8264]

Have you heard of or shot a 25 creedmoor what’s your thoughts

[@Larry-tl6vw]

I had a 25-06 built in 1973 on a Mauser Action with a Douglas Barrel, I just took another Pa buck with it last week , still shoots great !!! My favorite rifle….

[@USAACbrat]

The best long range varmint round

[@juliusjames5577]

Excellent Guy. Bullet length and not weight determines appropriate twist.

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

The ol' quarter bore is the best caliber hands down.

[@brentgarbett5306]

My 25-06 has 28 " barrel and is turbo charged with nitrous oxide and a blower with dual quads.

[@Ultimatereloader]

That must be costly with current fuel prices!!!!!! 😂

[@theorangevestarmy4255]

I love my 25/06!

[@paulholmes1303]

Was introduced to the 25-06 cartridge in 1978 by a friend with a Sako Finnbear rifle in 25-06, when he let me fire one round. EVERYBODY was layman hunting with the (more affordable/available) 30-06 at that time, but I liked the capability of this cartridge. Bought my Rem 700 in 1982 for 25-06 for IIRC, $249 (?) at Intermountain Arms store in Nampa Idaho. Bought the Lee (hand) Loader to go with it, still have it although I Rock Chuck loads now. I AM intrigued by the Berger offerings but due to that twist issue, doubt I'll ever be able to afford a custom 1:8 barrel. Anyway, it will always be my hunting rifle and will never get another.

[@missey3164]

25 wssm, almost as good as the 26 06 , both are great cartridges. I still like my others as well. 257 Weatherby and of course both the 270 and 270 WSM

[@frankdyson9043]

6.5-06 was a factory round that became a wild cat.

[@011CJ]

I love the vids with guy 👍

[@herbertsmith6416]

I like 25.06 Ackley Improved

[@jimpalmer4916]

I'll never use those berger hunting/ target hi b.c. bullets ever again. The nosler partition is better in every aspect of big game hunting. This has been my experience for 3 decades. Target bullets are too thin jacketed for dependable penetration.

[@guyminer3168]

Nosler's Partition is an excellent game-taking bullet!

[@Titan-iw7xv]

25-06 is highly underrated. Built a custom rifle in this caliber for my son as a grift when he graduated basic training as a marine, he absolutely loves it. Shooting 100 grain Barnes ttsx at 3360fps. Flattens everything it gets pointed at!

[@25wsmfan56]

Same bullet I shoot out of my 25 - 06 killer

[@SavageShooters]

.25-06 has to be one of the most under-rated and unappreciated cartridges out there. As a long-time quarter-bore fan I'm glad to FINALLY see some modern high B.C. bullets like the Black Jack Ace and the new Berger's coming out to bring some attention back to these great older cartridges. Only problem is I still always have to decide whether to grab my Ultralite .250 Savage A.I. or my .25-06 A.I. from the safe when deer season rolls around.

[@wilburnmartin5706]

Also the 257-roberts is another excellent quarter bore.

[@2abuggy699]

Is the AI worth it on the 25-06? I've been thinking about modifying my tikka

[@joshsinglefooter]

Yep take them pea shooters in Grizzly County. I'm taking my 30-378wby. Deer dead. Grizzly...... if need be.

[@gregstephens8386]

Yes I have a 25.06 also I love it shoots great but to shoot the higher bc bullets like the black jack ace you have to change your barrel to a higher twist rate like 7.5 in order to stabilize it properly

[@MrJtin69]

257 weatherby stomps it and so many more its obsolete let the 25-06 rem go and fade away

[@1bobharvey]

I really like that between 30-06 and 25-06 and 2 simple yet similar rifles Guy has everything from 75 gr rockchuck rounds to brown bear 220gr or larger as and option with one action length. I would be interested in seeing a video were you guys discuss similar options for multiple calibers that would be easy and economical to reload for across multiple calibers. Think like 25-06,30-06, 35 whelen combinations. I can see where if I guy had those three as rifles you would cover almost everything you would ever want to shoot and the press/reloading supplies would mostly be covered by the other calibers with one set of brass and primers. essentially all you would do is buy different bullets and dies, maybe a couple different powders but that may not be the case.

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Do a video on a 303 British hunting and see sighting in a scoped mk4
