What would you guys NOT recommend for deer in the 25-06?

I would not use anything less than 90grs that is not a monometal.

I've used a 25-06 for a lot of Alberta deer. Mostly handloads using Speer 120gr SBT or Speer 120gr Grand Slam or Barnes 115 TSX. Great open country deer round.

For factory loads I would use a Barnes Vortex load, or any mono metal, heaviest bullet available or the Federal Fusion. The Fusion is a very good bullet.
