[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 568259, member: 38547"] I have almost concluded my test of 115vlds out of my 25/06 so far I am impressed. my son droped his whitetail at 270 yards entrance a little high in the shouder, bullet is somewhere in the other shoulder( i will look for it tomorrow when I start cutting), insides were unrecognizable. my deer the next morning almost straight on at 103 yards. into the chest cavity spun into off side shoulder must have split in two pieces because 3 ribs on the off side were missing a one inch section again everything in the chest cavity was goo. my deer took two jumps and died on his way to the ground. Had a similar shot years ago with 120 speer sp bt. and ended up following a gut shot deer a long way the bullet pushed its way through to the guts not affecting much of anything in between. FYI pushing the vld's at 3150 fps. I have never seen a deer drop as fast as my sons. nor seen the kind of internal damage to everything little meat lost in the process. I was unsure how they would work I cannot wait to test again next year. As a side note I will most likely not be shooting the 25/06 at elk later this week unless I get a perfect 500 yard shot at a good bull. The 35 whelen AI is better suited. and shoots .4 inch groups at 100 with 3000 +ftlbs behind a 225 nosler partition. Just a better choice imho. [/QUOTE]
