I have a savage model 12 in .25-06, and although the trigger is horrid, it shoots fairly well. I used to shoot 90 grain Winchester Positive Expanding Points, but they didn't always seat well in my rifle, so I switched to the 85 grain Winchester Ballistic Silver Tips, which shoot very well (about 1 to 1 1/2" at 100 with my bad trigger. The ballistic tips will make prairie dogs disappear into a mist, helicopter, pop up in the air, and do all kinds of other fun things. Shot a pretty good sized jackrabbit with it at about 150 yards, blew its entire torso apart. Great round.
