This season was a good season for me and my 25-06. I shot three deer with it two doe and a buck. All were taken with a 90 absolute hammer at 3600 fps muzzle velocity. It’s my favorite rifle for deer.IMG_2716.jpeg

Well I built this rifle last year then got lucky and drew a desert bighorn in NM. Killed my ram at 662 yards dead right there with a 133 Berger. Killed my ram on Saturday then drove home and my niece used the rifle to kill a cow elk at just over 400 yards on Monday. Tuesday morning my son and I both killed cows at 540 yards and 300 yards. Bullets prefo d perfect I love this rifle.

25 SST, 133 Berger, 22” barrel, 3100 fps, 375 yards, Coues deer. Friend slew one down in Old Mexico with a rifle I sold him.

A fast 25 cal is as destructive as I want… still a bit much on Coues deer. Gonna drop down to 22 creed for smaller game. It’s still my go to for elk, even though I haven’t gotten a chance with it in the last few years.

Those speeds really make the 130s in a 25 an absolute hammer a long ways out.
