Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 25-06 deer bullet

My 25 seems to shoot the best with 100 gr TSX and I have had good luck with them on Whitetails, this year it will be my backup Mule Deer gun and hopefully I will get to try it on one...

115 Nosler BT puts deer down in short order.

Take advantage of its speed and use a TSX.

Another vote for the 110 accubond. I've wanted to try others but its proven itself over and over in both the deadly and the accuracy categories that its hard to stray. Almost always produces two holes on okie whitetails and piggies.

100gr TTSX

115 NP, 120 Hot Core, 120 Hornady HP. Great results from all of these

In my experience it's not to hard to find a good 25 cal bullet for deer. My personal favorite for deer is 100 grain ballistic tip. I can't remember ever keeping one in a deer from 25-06, 25-06 ackley, and 257 weatherby from close to far they just seem to plow right through.

My 25-06 shot the Hornady 117gr interlocks real well, and was deadly on Muleys.

I've had great results with the 120PT and the 100gr E-Tip. That E-Tip is a mean machine at 3,300fps. Shoots flat and digs deep.

I really like the 115 NBT and will probably stick with them, although the Accu Bond is pretty interesting.

When I shot a 25-06 I used the 117 Hornady's too.

most of my .25-06 hunting was with barnes and noslers, pick the one which shoots best and rock on.

My wife and I have killed deer of various sizes pushed at .25-06 velocities and higher with the 100 Barnes TSX and TTSX; 115 Berger Hunting VLD; 100 Hornady Interlock; 100 and 115 Nosler Ballistic Tip; 100, 115 and 120 Nosler Partition; and 120 Remington Core-Lokt.

The only problems we've encountered with any of them were one very early 115 Nosler Ballistic Tip failing to penetrate a whitetail doe on a frontal shot, and a 100 TSX failing to open on a broadside shot on a mule deer buck. Other than that they all worked fine.

If I were going to pick one bullet for hunting deer with a .25-06 for the rest of my life it would probably be the 115 Nosler Partition, as overall it has killed quicker than any other, always penetrated more than sufficiently and shot accurately. But like laker said, in the .25-06 just about any bullet will do the job.

This.

^^ Yep. 115gr NP w/51.5gr RL22

Can't see how you could find a better deer bullet than the 110 grain Accu-Bond for the 25-06.

i like the ttsx and accubond.

TTSX is all you need.

What he said ^^^

Pack the brass full with RL'22 and get the grill hot
