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
Hornady's American Whitetail 117-grain is a boat-tail soft point .25-06 load made for medium game. Hornady calls the bullet an InterLock BTSP, with a ring in the jacket that holds the lead core in place. It leaves the muzzle at 2,990 fps with 2,322 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .391.
With a 100-yard zero it drops 11.7 inches at 300 and 26.9 inches at 400, where 1,143 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point starts 110 fps faster on a G1 BC of .453 and, from a 100-yard zero, drops 23.4 inches at 400. HSM's Tipping Point 117-grain SST loads Hornady's SST bullet at the same weight and from that zero drops 26.7 inches at 400.
- About 4 percent less estimated recoil than Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point
- A higher G1 BC than Federal's Power-Shok 117-grain SP at .361
- Still moving at 2,097 fps at 400 yards
- The slowest of the 117-grain loads compared at the muzzle; Hornady's own Superformance 117-grain SST is the fast loading of the same bullet weight
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
