Solved from this product's advertised 3000 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
HSM's Tipping Point 117-grain is a polymer-tipped .25-06 load made for hunting, with no game class named. The Tipping Point uses Hornady's SST, a lead core under a polymer tip. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 2,340 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .390.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 11.6 inches at 300 and 26.7 inches at 400, where 1,150 ft-lbs remain.
If you're cross-shopping, HSM's own Game King 117-grain Sierra Spitzer BT leaves at the same speed on a higher G1 BC of .410, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 26.2 inches at 400. Black Hills Gold's 117-grain SST loads the same bullet 100 fps faster and from that zero drops 24.6 inches at 400.
- About 4 percent less estimated recoil than Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST
- Carries 1,387 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Keeps 2,103 fps at 400 yards
- The slowest of the SST loads compared at the muzzle; Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST is the fast loading of the same bullet
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
