Solved from this product's advertised 3000 fps, 117gr bullet and G1 BC 0.410, 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
HSM's Game King 117-grain is a boat-tail soft point .25-06 load made for hunting, with no game class named. At 117 grains this is the heavier of HSM's two Game King loads, on Sierra's pointed soft point with a tapered base. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 2,340 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .410.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.9 inches at 300 and 20.1 inches at 400, where 1,193 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, HSM's own Tipping Point 117-grain SST leaves at the same speed on a lower G1 BC of .390, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 20.5 inches at 400. Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point starts 100 fps faster and from that zero drops 18.0 inches at 400.
- The highest G1 BC of the soft points compared
- Carries 1,425 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 46 more than Hornady's American Whitetail 117-grain InterLock
- About 4 percent less estimated recoil than Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point
- 45 ft-lbs behind Federal's Power-Shok 117-grain SP at the muzzle
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
