25-06 Bullets

[rem 700]

They are lubalox(I believe that's the word) coated. Quite different I do suppose.

Winchester won't say what Lubaloy is, but they do say what it isn't. It isn't moly.

It appears to be some sort of a baked-on lubricant film, like Barnes' XLC, but in black instead of blue.

i wouldn't be surprised if the lubalox leaves a film or coating on the inside of barrels...just like moly.

[rem 700]

I haven't had that problem. Not with 85 grain CXP1's that is. Got 115's in the mail...comin soon.

I'm currently doing load development work on a new Remington 700BDL in .25-06. I purchased a box of Nosler Ballistic Tips and was surprised to find they were flat based instead of boattails. I've also read that Nosler is making the jackets thicker on the deer sized ballistic tips. Maybe they are indeed addressing the problem many shooters seem to have with the deer sized bullets fragmenting. Best wishes.

Try 100 grain Barnes TSX. Make your 25/06 behave like it's on STEROIDS. Great trajectory, accuracy, controlled expansion for maximum penetration but little wasted meat. It costs a little more to go first class. But 18 consecutive one-shot kills in several calbers (including several with 25/06) tells me it's worth it.
The guide dubbed it "the heat seeking missle."
