The 87gn Hornady is overlooked by many for the .25/06. I used it a lot in the .257 Weatherby loaded over 2800fps during the 70's and 80's so it was a natural loaded to around 3600fps in the .25/06 where it proved very accurate and useful in my 26" barrel.
Best choices overall that I found were the 100gn Hornady and Barnes TTSX (probably the most useful) with the 117gn Hornady BT and 120gn Partition also proving very accurate and at plus 3200fps velocity levels. Those 100 grainers shot under half inch using 760 powder at 3450 to just over 3500fps.
Tried a lot of others from the 75gn original X bullet up to 115gn TSX and a few others but the best 2 for me with a common sighting was the 100TTSX and 120gn Partition.
