Frequently Asked Questions
Federal Premium 25-06 Ammo 117 Grain for Sale
What is the best grain bullet for 25-06 deer hunting?
For deer hunting with a 25-06, 100-120 grain bullets are the standard choice. The 117-grain Sierra GameKing and 115-grain Nosler Partition are proven performers. At longer ranges, the 100-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip shoots flat and expands reliably. Match your selection to your rifle's accuracy and expected shot distance.
What is the best ammo for a 25-06?
For deer hunting, 110-120 grain bullets like Hornady InterLock or Nosler AccuBond deliver reliable expansion. Varmint shooters prefer lighter 75-87 grain loads for flatter trajectories. Expect to pay around $36 per box. Test several loads, as individual rifles often show clear preferences for specific ammunition.
How much will a 25-06 drop at 300 yards?
A 25-06 zeroed at 100 yards drops roughly 6–8 inches at 300 yards for lighter, faster loads. A 117-grain bullet at 3,030 fps drops closer to 11.6 inches at 300 yards. Use a ballistics calculator with your specific load for precise figures.
What is the effective range of a 25-06 on a deer?
Most hunters consider 300-400 yards practical for deer with a 25-06. Quality factory loads can reach 500 yards reliably. Some sources cite ranges beyond 700 yards under optimal conditions, but that demands expert marksmanship and extensive load development. Your actual effective range depends on your rifle's accuracy and your shooting ability.
What animals is a 25-06 good for?
A .25-06 works well for deer, antelope, and pronghorn at extended ranges. Lighter bullets handle varmints and coyotes effectively. Heavier 110-120 grain loads are reliable on deer and wild hogs, though larger calibers are preferable for big boars at close range.
Do higher grain bullets drop faster?
Not automatically, but generally yes. Heavier bullets typically have a steeper trajectory and drop more over distance. The exact amount depends on the specific bullet's shape and construction, not grain weight alone.
What is the best barrel length for a 25-06?
A 24-inch barrel is generally best for the 25-06, maximizing the cartridge's velocity potential. A 22-inch barrel works well for general hunting with minimal velocity loss. Shorter barrels under 22 inches sacrifice noticeable speed, which matters for a cartridge designed around high velocity and flat trajectory.
