That is 3450fps MV with the 92HH. I loaded the 90AH at 3200fps in my 18” 25CM, but haven’t killed anything with that one yet.

90. Absolute Hammers

115 gr. Ballistic Tips. If your rifle likes that bullet you really don't need any other.

Geezer here
I have used a 25/06 on Elk and Moose hunts with good success.
On one hunt in 1980, which was a solo late season hunt, I shot and killed a Bull Moose at 200+ yards . Broadside
I used a single, 120 grain Nosler Partition and this bullet cemented my belief in this bullet and newly acquired model 700 rifle. Since I have not seen a N.P. bullet failure- textbook results

Maybe dated info but I had my wife a 250AI built for her graduation present in 2010 based on Steve Timm's recommendation. He had his wife set up with one for a very long time and she killed way more stuff with it than I ever would. He said she mostly shot the blue meanies she called them. 100gr NBT. That's all I've ever loaded for my wife's rifle and while we've she's never shot a bear she's never had to shoot twice at a deer. Pretty bad little bullets for normal hunting distances.

When I was 16 years old I bought a Ruger # 1 in 25-06 with a 26 inch barrel as my one do it all rifle and proceeded to shoot the barrel out. Most of that shooting was with the Hornady 117 Inter-lock btsp. That bullet never failed to kill whatever I hit with it including cow elk. But it was a little messy sometimes. Eventually I got a chronograph and found out my load was " only" doing 3000 fps even with a 26 inch barrel. Basically a 257 Roberts . Of course I had to work up a faster load, even though 3000 fps had been working fine for years.
