with all due respect. the 25-06 is an incredibly accurate round and 100 yds is not really far enough for a good test. with a good solid rest,decent optics and good shooter 1/4" groups at 100 yd's should not be uncommon.
my .25-06 likes them heavy. i like 115 to 120 grain. i seem to get the best results from them. as far as the brand i have not noticed a big difference from hornady to winchester.
I never shot anything but handloads thru mine, but it had a 26" bbl varmint wt stock and bull bbl and was bedded and action/trigger job with a leupold 4.5-14x scope and my best groups at 200 yd's 5 shots you could cover with a postage stamp. but shot all wt bullets well. the 75 gr hp's were screamers at app 3600 fps, I preffered heavier 117-120gr at app 3000 fps for hunting, but 100 gr's app 3300 fps, one hp for varmint and another 100 gr nosler partition for hunting was a nice way to go and didn't have to change the scope settings. that was my all time most accurate rifle but big, heavy and not fun to carry far or use up in a tree.
