    Mate of mine has shot over 700 Sika and reds with the 100gr NBT in his 25-06.

    I loved the 85gr NBT in the 303-25 killed bloody well and nil recoil.

    I love how everyone poo poos a cal but you look at how many big reds and thar get dropped by the humble 223 and 243...

    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.

    Hornady 120gr HP, 85gr & 90gr Barnes-X, more recently 115gr Berger VLD - most accurate of the lot, all in a .257Ackley. Don't improve it if standard though; AI means fireforming cases and they don't usually feed as well, in return for an extra 100ft/sec max.

    @Puffin could you PM me your loads? currently getting 3480 with 2208 and 80 grain Barnes. I've got a set of AI dies coming from a forum member but no rush to re-chamber yet.
