I recently aquired an old 77v tang safety 25-06 and I’d like to get a load developed using a 100gr bullet. Particularly the nosler ballistic tip and the Sierra gameking.
I’d like to hear some first hand experience with these bullets on deer, especially at high velocity impacts (3000+). How was the penetration? Yes I am expecting meat damage and I’m ok with that.
 
Sorry, I have used the .25-06 for decades, but I always used the 117- and 120-grain bullets on deer. My rifle never shot the 100-grain bullets well with its old barrel (the lede was very worn on it). But I am curious to see what some others have used.

I just found three boxes of 100-grain Core-Lokts from about 1994 and I plan to use them up doing some field practice with that rifle.
 
Only 100gr I've shot out of mine are Barnes (and it's slinging those at 3350ish). Mine shoots the 115BT and 115 berger so well I haven't wanted to go smaller on a cup/core.

Both the Barnes and Noslers have killed quite a few animals, to include elk. The bergers were just reloaded for last fall but haven't been shot at an animal yet.
