25-06 100gr bullets experience wanted

I load 100gr Barnes for my brothers 25-06. 3250 fps using imr4831. Good performance on approx 15 animals over the years from antelope to cow elk. 1 shot Drt with minimal meat damage.
 
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.
Generally speaking, Ballistic tips are great on deer. I've seen a couple deer taken with the 100gr from a 25-06 (my dad shoots one). Big holes, lots of internal damage. Penetration not an issue.

Personally my preference would be the 115gr. But the 100gr works great if you want a pure speed demon.

No experience personally with the game kings.
 
My gun didn't shoot a 100gr well. I've used the 110 accubonds on about 30 deer the last few years out to 300 yards. I'll get exits on the does. The bucks that dress 170 -200lbs are usually 50/50 on exits. Two holes had an easy blood trail if they did run. The ones that didn't exit were under the off shoulder skin and left almost no blood trail. I try to hit dead center shoulder.
