My current Bob likes Hunter best under the 115.
For those asking, nothing wrong with the NPT groups. I'm simply wanting to explore a bit over the winter. We also have a coyote problem on our lease. We also have some 500 yd plus shots available. Was thinking of trying a higher BC and tightening groups a bit. Could be a win-win if I can dream up tighter groups, better BC, and still have capable deer bullets.
In the 25-06 my bread & butter load is the Hornaday 117 BTSP the BT work well too. For coyotes I would try the 115 Bergers or the SST if you have enough twist for the Bergers 1 in 10 I think depends on altitude and maybe velocity or individual barrel preference. Both of these would work well on deer at longer ranges. In 25 caliber it is difficult to find a bad bullet for deer with anything 80 to 120 grains as the bullets were designed for the medium 25s with a nod to the Weatherby most function well at middle velocities.
R26 is doing well for me in the 243 & 25-06 and soon the 6AI so I would give it a try in the Bob too if I had one.
