Solved from this product's advertised 3100 fps, 117gr bullet and G1 BC 0.390, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .25-06 Remington.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Black Hills Gold's 117-grain SST is a polymer-tipped .25-06 load built on Hornady's SST bullet, and Black Hills names no game class for it. The SST has a lead core under its tip. It leaves the muzzle at 3,100 fps with 2,496 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .390.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 10.7 inches at 300 and 24.6 inches at 400, where 1,240 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST loads the same bullet 10 fps faster, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 24.4 inches at 400. Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point starts at the same speed on a G1 BC of .453 and from that zero drops 23.4 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,492 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 105 more than HSM's Tipping Point 117-grain SST
- 100 fps up on both HSM 117-grain loads at the muzzle
- Keeps 2,184 fps at 400 yards
- Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point carries 116 ft-lbs more at 300 yards from the same muzzle velocity
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
