We had used factory Rem 120gr Corelocks for about 20yrs. My whole family shoots 25-06s.

Went to the Fed 100gr Ballistic Tips a few years ago and love them. Maybe too light for Mule deer, but whitetails cant stand them. 25-06 is the next thing to being struck by lightning anyway.

Only 1 deer took a step in all those years. Never did figure out how it ran 50yds. Lungs were vaporized.
