I’ve been trying to work up a couple loads for a pair of 25-06’s. One is mine and the other belongs to a buddy. I’ve shot 115NPT and BT, 120 NPT, 117 hornady and Sierra spt bt, and 100TTSX. The sierras have shot best followed by the hornady 117 boat tails…. But ALL of them have completely flown apart when I did them out of the back stop…. Which is a combo of dirt and mostly wood “saw dust”. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them one a doe but if a big buck walks out I’d much rather have a stouter bullet. Any opinions on either the Sierra or hornady bullets? I’ve shot exactly one deer with a 25-06, a doe at about 280 yards with the 117 Sierra boat tail so I’m clearly no expert.
Thx in advance.
