RE: 25-06 deer bullet
I used to use a 257 wby for all my deer hunting and the only bullets I used were 100gr partitions and later on 100gr ballistic tips.Both did a fine job but the deer shot with partitions seemed to run for a distance before dropping while the ballistic tips seemed to produce quicker kills.

RE: 25-06 deer bullet
IF you are shooting 300yds and in any bullet between 100 and 120 will work. I like shooting 115 Nosler Ballistic Tips for farther out there with my .25-06. They expand rapidly causeing alot of damage killing the deer quicker than a a bonded bullet like a Nosler Partitions, X Bullets, Grand Slams and many others. They are controlled expansion so they expand slower.
Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!

The 117 sierras are good. Also, the plain jane 120gr Core-Lokt's seem to be good deer droppers out of the 25-06. My buddy shoots one at our camp and he shoots the Core-Lokt's. He rarely has one run from the point of impact.

For factory rounds I use Winchester- 120 gr.PXP.When I started hand loading for my .25-06 I used 100 gr.ballistic tips .Both shoot really well out of mine I believe it will like anything I feed it.

I had very good results with the 117 Sierra PSPBT from a .25/'06 on the small Central Texas whitetails!! Very destructive bullet at .25/'06 velocities.

RE: 25-06 deer bullet
My friend got me on to the 25.06. 80% of the deer he shoots drop
where they are standing using a 100 gr. ballistic tip at 3,300 fps.
So I bought a 25.06 and shot 2 deer with the ballistic tip last
year. Both dropped where they stood. Accuracy at 100 yards is
good. Three shot groups around 3/4 inch.
