Its my buddies rifle and I have some 100gr TSX laying around that the can try a few for free.

They will be shot out of a 700 sendero if that helps anyone.

He hunts west of childress where 200lbs+ deer are the norm, so I am thinking 100gr TSX or Accubonds at max velocity

I get over 3200 fps with 110-grain Accubonds using Retumbo. The 110-grain Accubond will take 'em down like the hammer of Thor.

Never saw a 25-06 that did not shoot really well with 53gr of IMR-4350 when using the 100gr TSX and 3.23" OAL.

The one I load for my buddy Page in his Rem Sendero is RL 22 w/100 grain X or TTSX and he gets same hole groups...I went 5 grains off max fitted the cartridge and projectile to his rifle
and loaded 2 rounds for each 1/10 grain up to max..he hit at about 3/10's off max shoots same hole groups...Most hunters shoot
factory production rifles and need to break in the bbls..100 rounds of shooting and cleaning, and lap a little sometimes and
when shooting Barnes, solid copper spend some time getting your
weapon clean..Don
