RE: 25-06 for White Tail Deer
I have only taken eight deer with my 25-06 and I guess I have been lucky they were all one shot kills . I tried jacketed bullets on a couple but have since gone to the Barnes 100 gr X bullets . I average around 3250 fps on my chrono and my groups are around 1" which is good enough for me .

If you are use a 100 grain pill make sure its a premium bullet. With a normal jacketed bullet use a 117gr or 120gr. My next bullets to try will be the new barnes triple shock 100gr. This might be the ultimate bullet for the .25-06
