Bullet weight

I know there is no perfect bullet for everything but........I have been thinking that the 100gr.Nosler BT. would be a good ground hog to deer bullet.I would like to hear your thoughts and experinces with bullet.Thanks.

I know that there are a lot of people who like Nosler bullets, but I haven't had any luck loading them in any caliber. My best results have always been Sierra and Hornady.

Speaking of which my Remy Sendero 25-06 likes Sierra #1628 100 grain HPBT MatchKing and Hornady 110 grain Interbond

I use the Hornady 117 grain SPBT Interlock over H4831SC fired by a BR-2 primer for most of my hunting from my Remington Sendero 25-06. It kills deer like a laser beam and no varmint ever hit with one ever knew what hit him.
One of things I really like about it is that my rifle will kick them into a .25 MOA group at 100 yards. I have fired groups as small as 1.25 MOA at 500 yards. I think that is pretty good for bullet in the Hornady price range.

I have had some pretty spectacular bullet failures with ballistic tip bullets. As a rule, if I have to use them I always step up a bullet weight with a plastic tip bullet.

I have ran quite a few 100gr pills into whitetails with my 25-06,
Most of my shots are inside 100 yards, I have settled on the 100gr Nosler Partition,it always holds on to it back core, and on broadside hits thu the ribs will exit, meat damage is minimul, and best of all, most of them look like they been shot behind the ear :-) .. Bang-Flop. Most standard bullets can NOT stand the high impact velocity's that the 25-06 generates inside the 100 yard mark, Ballistic Tips, Pro-Hunters, SST's WILL shed there jackets on contact...
