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

I've used the 117 SGK on mule deer and it was a good solid killer. I've used the old Hornady 120HP in a 257 Ackley Improved, the 115 Nosler Partition and 100TSX in 2 257 Wbys. A good 25-06 runs so close to the Wby in good handloads too. I know a fellow out here who uses his 25-06 with 120 Remington corlokt factory ammo on mule deer and elk both. Since I spent a lot of time killing critters with hot 22s, small to big 6mms and the above 25s, I am now focusing on a 24" .270 win, otherwise, I'd have another 25-06. Great cartridge.
