I just wanted to chip in with an echo of agreement with Dogzapper. I too have used the 25-06/100 gr. BT combination with great success. Over the years I've had many people tell me that the 100BT is too light, too fast, or not built well enough. Despite that my 25 has an impeccible record on a few antelope, and a modest amount of BIG deer, with large body weights. I think it has to with the precision of the bullet, comfort with recoil, and efficiency of the bullet weight/powder cap. The ballistic tips have always performed well and cleanly killed the game. I even performed a test involving a bowling ball after I was told that ballistic tips don't penetrate. Kind of a stupid test I know, but the results were amazing to me. Great caliber, great bullet.
