I have owned two different .25/06 rifles one was a Winchester Model 70 with 24" barrel .... the other is a Browning A-Bolt with a 22" barrel ...
The Win 70 would only safely go to about 2980/3000 fps with a 115 gr BT or 117 gr Sierra GK ...
The Browning even with the 22' barrel will run a 115 gr BT without pressure signs up to about 3080/3085 fps ... I can safely run a 110 gr Nosler Accubond up to 3200 fps ....
So what does this mean ... it means no two rifles are the same ... they don't yield the same accuracy or the same velocity ... and the same loads just don't work for all ....
I have seen this with other calibers also ...
