I currently use Nosler ballistic Tips in 115gr. They are very,very accurate but i have read that the 115 gr Partition was the ultimate bullet for the 25-06. ANyone on here use the 115gr Partition? If so what kind of results on deer have you had with them?......Or if not the 115gr Partiton what bullet are you shooting and what kinda results?
I never used the 115 Partition, but have used the 100-grain Partition! I believe the 115 is
MORE than adequate for the biggest deer, +++! It would make a great caribou load. The only deer I ever shot with a .25/'06 was with the Sierra 117-grain bullet. It hit the critter in the spinal column just behind the shoulder, and took out a section about 6" long! The deer hit the ground so hard he bounced! But of course, with such a hit, it was no real test of the cartridge or the bullet. Any caliber would have performed about as well, I suppose. But I have found the .25/'06 to be almost
more than you need for deer. It's as good as the .257 Weatherby Magnum.
