Solved from this product's advertised 3110 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
Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST is a polymer-tipped .25-06 load made for medium game. The SST sits a polymer tip over a lead core, and Superformance is Hornady's faster-burning line. It leaves the muzzle at 3,110 fps with 2,513 ft-lbs, the most of the 117-grain loads compared, and has a G1 BC of .390.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.4 inches at 300 and 18.9 inches at 400, with 1,249 ft-lbs left at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point starts fractionally slower but carries a G1 BC of .453, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 18.0 inches at 400. HSM's Tipping Point 117-grain SST loads the same bullet 110 fps slower and from that zero drops 20.5 inches at 400.
- 173 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than HSM's Tipping Point 117-grain SST
- Carries 1,502 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Keeps 2,192 fps at 400 yards, 95 more than Hornady's own American Whitetail 117-grain InterLock
- Black Hills Gold's 117-grain SST loads the same bullet within 10 fps, so there is nothing between the two downrange
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
