[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1836254, member: 101791"] I used a 25/06 for years. Somewhere around 30 deer or a little more. First deer was with a 100 Grain Partition under 80 yards. It exploded and blood shot the entire side of the deer. Change out to 120 gr. Noslers SP at the time. Under a 100 yards about 2" Dia blood shot area and beyond that almost nothing. The bullet was great. Shot out too 500 + yards. Nosler Partition if I remember correctly should be at velocity below 2900 fps. That may have changed. I haven't used partition from the 70's. 270's with 130 Sierra SPBT is a great round @ 3100 fps. I seen over a hundred deer taken by those rifles from every direction. Not much in the way of blood shot. That was one of my main things was how the bullets worked on the animals that were shot. I read two stories on LR bullets. It seem to me that on short yards they come apart. and longer range they generally do good. I kind of think that it would be hard to get a bullet that does both. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
