All I use is the Winchester 115 grain ballistic tips and they are awesome. Been shooting them for years and never had a problem

Out of those two choices, I would choose Interlock

I do like the SST for a 30-06. but I would be bit cautious in 25-06. and go with heavier for caliber bullet in the SST or the interlock.

I'd use what the rifle preferred. Accuracy is confidence building.


Only hits count.

115 Berger VLD is what I prefer. I reload so I get to choose.

SST or Barnes TTSX. I recently switched to Barnes but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to SST.

Pretty much anything, but GameKings. Those things were terrible in my 25-06. I prefer 110 grain Accubonds and 120 grain Partitions. Vast improvement over those dang GKs.


83% of all statistics are made up.

Gamekings are good bullets at moderate speeds. Wouldn't trust one at 25-06 speeds especially with a close impact. Can't go wrong with Accubonds and Partitions.

Had no problems with the sst.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

I agree with this statement. SST's are one of the most explosive bullets out there. Especially the light weight ones traveling at a high velocity.

The interlock SP is a way better choice. They are extremely accurate in my 25-06 and despite weighing only 117 grains I have yet to get one to stop in a deer.

May I throw in the wrinkle of “Where do you like to punch the hole in the deer” question?

Every single 25-06 bullet I’ve fired into gelatin blocks at 50 yards, either fully explodes at 8-12” inside gelatin…or has a big wound channel at that distance, and throws expansion pieces off and continues to penetrate deeper with significantly less hydraulic shock diameter from bullet center wound.

Shoot a 12” wide deer without contacting bone, and it will have a .257-ish entry wound, and about 1,5”
Exit wound.
Hit bone, and it’ll have a 3-6” hole out the other side.

However…if you shoot a BigBoy with an SST in a 25-06 through the chest, there may or may not be an exit wound. It doesn’t matter if it bang/flops where it’s standing…but due to what I’ve seen with my own tests with gelatin blocks and 25-06 through .338 Win mags…Barnes 100% copper solids, Hornady GMT 95/5% solids, H-Type bullet structures, Interlocks, etc…(front explodes off and rear of bullet punches on through)…those will just about always have a punch through exit wound.

Myself with a 25-06, I truly LOVE a high shoulder/spine area shot, or a neck shot. They rarely move in any direction but straight down DRT.

FYI-If any of you all want to do some gelatin block shoots sometime?…it’s VERY cool to see EXACTLY what your bullet does at a specific distance.

Anything above 3k FPS and you can have issues with Ballistic tips like the Nosler and Hornady SST. I’m a speed freak when it comes to hand loads. I like a 100g TTSX at 3350-3400 out of my 25-06. I’ve pushed them above 3500 but groups were just not quite as good. It hits like Thors Hammer. Killed 5 with this load and all were DRT.

I shoot the TTSX out of 7mag at 3300fps I’ve killed 5 bucks and 4-5 does with this round. 6-7 were DRT, had a 10 point run about 12 yards and pile up 3 years ago, a 9 go maybe 15 yards 5 years ago. I shot a 211lb buck last year at 43 steps, broke his off side shoulder with the first round and he took a step and wobbled a little so I put another one right beside it. He was dead on his feet. This year I shot a 198lb bucks at 195 yards and he didn’t take a step. 3 years ago I shot a 190lb Dallas County buck that was very hard quartering. Bullet entered just in front of hip and exited offside shoulder. I had to put another in him but he didn’t go 10 yards after the first shot.

The TTSX gives me confidence in getting a bullet to the vitals no matter what shot angle I’m presented. For this reason I feel it’s the absolute best option. But that’s just my opinion. Others may feel just as strong about a different bullet.
