ORIGINAL: zrexpilot

Just remember a 100 gr .243 is a deer bullet and a 100 gr .25-06 is a varmint bullet. The 25-06 is best with the 117 or 120 gr. In my opinion.

I have only used the 117 grain Sierra Game Kings on deer but Federaloffers the 100 grain Barnes Triple Shock and the 100 grain Nosler Balistic Tip for the 25-06. Now I'm not a big fan of Balistic Tips but the Triple Shock is definately not a varmint bullet. That bullet fired from a 25-06around 3200 fps will have zero problems with W/T deer.
