Bought my first 25.06 in 84. Used primarily Sierra 117 flat base what’s now known as the Pro-Hunter. In 91-92 I switched to 120 grain Hornady that was supposedly designed for the 25.06. It failed biggly.

Buck at 175 blew up on impact, second shot also blew up on a spine shot and wasn’t recovered. Last Hornady bullet I ever shot a deer with. Still got that box of bullets. The 115 BT was erratic on performance so went back to pro-hunter.
