Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Great commercial 25-06 loads for bigger NE whitetail?

I've had good luck with the Hornady American Whitetail, however chronographed them and only got 2766 fps vs 2990 as advertised.

Same gun same day Federal 110 AB chronographed 3040 fps vs 3090 as advertised.

That said, still killed pronghorns no sweat.

I have since hand-loaded 117 gr. Hornady I/L in same gun at about max and bullet performance was still stellar.
