50g of IMR 4831 with the 115 is one heck of a load for Remingtons, 3000 fps...bug hole accurate and deer flop. The 117g Sierra btsp is another fine bullet to use with this same load.
Never forget the 120g speer hot core that is a flat base in this weight range...you will become a True Believer in this bullet, and if you can find any, the 117g Hornady flat base thinks it is a partition.
We played with some faster loads with R#25 and federal 215's, use Winchester brass only, accuracy was great and velocity was 3150fps with the 117g Sierra BTSP and 3300 fps with a hot load of R#25 in a custom 10T Shilen barrel.
Few try them, the 100g Partition in 25 caliber is the most accurate partition I have ever shot, 1/2" in Remingtons is normal.
The 25/06 is perhaps one of the most under rated calibers for deer on the market.
For years, I hunted coyotes with Sierra 90g HP and loaded IMR 3031 at 3500 fps that shot tiny groups.
