I shoot the Hornady SST 117g and my savage loves them.. Accuracy is not the problem. Bullet performance has been. Shot one through the ribs that the bullet was just under the skin on opposite side. Shot one in the shoulder and it didn't even damage the opposite shoulder.

I have an Xbolt 25-06 and it loves the Remington core lokt. ..in the 100 grain version. Haven't had one run yet after being shot. However shot placement is key to any round that you chose to shoot

My 25-06 likes 120 grain Core-Lokts. This is the only one I tried that got consistent pass throughs on deer and hogs. I've never tried the Barnes. I did try the SGK and was not impressed.
83% of all statistics are made up.

100g core lokts. And you can always find them.

I've yet to recover a monolithic all copper bullet from a deer, whether it be a Barnes TSX from my .257WBY, a Barnes TTSX from my 25-06, or a Hornady GMX from my 25-06. Bullets blow all the way through the deer...two holes, every time.

I have a remington sendaro in 25-06.
I load Nosler ballistic tips for it.
95 grains are good 85 grains kill a whitetail like the hammer of Thor.
For years we got piles of doe tags from the DMAP.
During that time I had a run where I killed 44 deer in 46 shots from that rifle.
Even double lung shots with the 85 grain seemed to stop the deer in a few steps.
Many would back up a step then drop. On longer shots, say 300 to 400 yards they tend to run 50-75 yards when double lunged. There is something about the ballastic shock of that combo that rocks on whitetails! I mostly bow hunt now but I ocasionally take a rifle, Deer run farther when shot with a 300 win mag than that 25-06
Great choice of caliber!
