Thread: Nosler 25 calibre ballistic tip

I'm looking for a 0 to 300 yard bullet that will work at 257R speeds. I may, if I can someone with a reamer, AI it.

Cheers Jeff.

I've used the 100grn and the 115grn BTip and the 110grn AB for many years in my 25-06 and my 25/08IMP and all work perfect as well as the Hornady 120HP.
The Noslers have always shot the best and work great on game I have some perfect mushroomed AB it had I retrieved.

The Hornady 120 Hp is a great bigger game bullet, can't bloody get it anymore though, the Sierra 120Hp is just as good but the Bc is not so great, am a fan of the Sierra 117 Ph out to 300ish, never tried the 110Ab, was put off by the 500yd effect (lack of...) on goats (shooting with a mate), but the 115VLD was sacking them.
looking at trying the ELD-x 110 on Tahr.

Most. Of the animals I shot with the AB were under 300 so they worked well. I must have used well over 1000 of the Hornady 120HP on goats and a few deer. I might need to go back to a 25/08 again it was an awesome rifle till I wore it out.
