I would like to have seen a dimensioned drawing of the 131 grain bullet. My #1V 25-06 (really nice gun) has a 1:10 twist barrel so likely not fast enough for this bullet.

I can only shoot to 350 yards at our local range and I am able to get sub-MOA groups at that distance with my handloads. I do better with the gun using a bi-pod and a rear bag rather than shooting bags front and rear. The preferred bullet is the Nosler 115 grain ballistic tip with a Sierra 120 grain Hunter a close second.

I'm a 25-06 fan and would recommend a gun so chambered.
