The 117 game king bullet has effortlessly killed every deer I have shot with it out of a standard 257 Robert’s using a max load of H4350 and a Kimber 257 Robert’s. To me it has killed better than a 308 with 150 grain cup and core bullets. It is also quite accurate. I have also used the Hornady 117 grain interlock with as far as I can tell identical results. I just found I have 100 of the 100 grain game kings! Will have to try those this year! I shot one deer with a 100 grain TTSX but it was a 30 yard neck shot and he just collapsed at the shot. The 117 GK is a pure killer from a 25-06 even at woods ranges. Only a sample of 1 or 2 but the 100 grain GK was the same.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

117gr Game king in my 257AI as well. It shoots well and crushes deer.
My old 2506 that is now my sons killed deer well with 100hr Sierra spitzers but he now uses 100gr tsx with great terminal results.
I had a customized 2506 I sold here, the 115 bt was loaded for it. I killed 2 does with it.
Out of the 3 bullet choices I don’t think any deer was more dead than any other.
I personally like the 117 in the AI more than the other 2

My favorite and the only one i shoot anymore is the Speer 120gr Hot-cor in my 25.06. I used the Sierra 117gr PH for a while years ago and it worked well as did the Hornady Interloc. I did try the TTSX 115gr some years back but my rifle just didn't seem to like them no matter the powder, seating depth etc, it just didn't shoot them very well. Used the Nosler 115gr BT briefly that someone gave me and they killed every deer i shot with them but made somewhat of a mess if i hit shoulder. When i got on the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor it shot so well and performed so good on game that i bought enough to last a lifetime so now that's all i use. Mike
