[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 134386, member: 1403"] Eaglet- I pretty much agree with you 100% on your energy figures. The only reason I say that is because I have seen deer drop at 300-350 yards with .223 and 22-250's that are only packing about 400lbs energy at that distance. I know for a fact though I wont be shooting deer or antelope at 1000 yards with my 25-06. I'll bring out the magnum for that. Not saying the 25-06 wont do it, but man thats pushing it IMO. I figure I'll keep the 100g BT to 600 yards or so and see how it does. I know the 115g BT is definately the better choice for longer range shots, but like I said, the 100g shoots better and ballistically there about the same since the 100g is going 300fps faster. My 115g loads are accurate, but only at 3050fps. If I was shooting the 115g BT I would go to 700 yards, maybe 800 yards on deer, but that might be pushing it.
