With bullets from 75-100 gr, I cannot find a bad load with my 25-06 featherweight classic.
move up to 115,117, and 120 gr loads and my handloads open up to 1.5" groups, or so...

I had a partial box of federal 117 factory loads given to me that shot real well. Around .75" IIRC.

for any deer that I might shoot, the 100 ballistic tip or the 100 hornady will do nicely, and shoot very well.

FWIW the 100 partition and the 100 tsx also shoot well, even if the tsx doesn't get the velocity I expected...
