Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 25-06 ? for Mule Deer.

I always ran 100 grain TTSX at 3340ish out of my 25-06.

My Dad had not deer hunted in 10 years and wanted to go this year with my son so He used my 25-06 this year.

We all hunted together out of the same blind. Dad shot a doe at about 100 yards with TTSX that my son couldn't get on. About 10 minutes later my son shot a button buck at 149 yards with a .243 and 85 grain partition.

The .243 partition caused several times more meat damage than the TTSX going several hundred a feet per second faster.
