[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2033392, member: 29241"] My experiences with the 25-06 started with shooting deer with 120 grn Noslers and generally the bullet passed through unless a shoulder shot. One pass through hit a 2" diameter tree and almost cut it in two. Always hunted with a relative who used a 308 and shot 125 sierras. We knew that ballistically the 308 w/ 125 grn and the 25-06 with 120 grain had same poi on a rock cliff at 600 yards. After countless of deer shot with both cartridges, the 308-125grn would almost always drop the deer or no more than a few steps. The 25-06 120 grn if shot in rib cage would almost always result in a run as much as 220 yards. After reading an NRA manual on ballistics that stated sectional density and frontal impact area of bullet was that in 25 cal the 120 grn was comparable to 180 grn in 30 cal and 150 gen in 277 cal. I started using the 87 grn in the 25-06 and experienced mostly drop when shot. The key is to release the bullets energy IN the deer and not on trees or the ground after pass through. The 87 grn easily shoots 3450 fps and creates blood shock much more than 120 grn.
