Well buddy-my .25-06 always has loved the W-W 120 gr Positive Expanding Point loads and shoots them under an inch at 100 yds off the bench. I currently use the Hornady 120 gr HP in my handloads and it shoots just as well.
Looking for knockdown and little meat damage? The .25-06 probably isn't the way to go then, as if you do shoot a deer in the shoulder (as opposed to thru the ribs) you are going to lose one and possibly both shoulders, but the deer will be down. My son shot a nice buck (169 lbs) this year at about 105 yds with the .25-06, high in the shoulder, as the cactus is so thick you don't want to be tracking throug it. Buck dropped in his tracks, and after about two shudders, it was over. I lost both shoulders--
