There are many ways in which bullets will vary slightly from overall rules.
And some BT's are deliberately built with heavier jackets, just for certain purposes. The 120 7mm is one, and the 180 .30 (and anything bigger) another.
The longer I hunt the more exceptions to everything I find....

well, dang, why does it have to be so complicated?
Reminds me of the old Ogden Nash quote: "No generalization is worth a damn. Including this one"

Let's see now..... The original question was; "25-06 load for mule deer and whitetails"..... That's not too complicated for my simple mind. Try the 117 grain Sierra Pro-Hunter #1640 IIRC, with a healthy dose of RL-22. My Ruger 77 loves it... So then I love it too. Not that a good hundred grainer wouldn't work on Mulies & Whitetails. It's just that my Ruger prefers stuff in the 115-120 gr. range. YMMV.
