Solved from this product's advertised 3000 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.483, 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 Trophy Gold 115-grain is a hollow point .25-06 load made for hunting, with no game class named. Berger's VLD Hunting bullet is a long boat-tail hollow point. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 2,298 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .483, the highest in the caliber.
From a 200-yard zero it drops 6.6 inches at 300 and 19.0 inches at 400, with 1,307 ft-lbs left at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Nosler's Ballistic Tip 115-grain Spitzer matches it on weight and muzzle velocity with a polymer tip and a G1 BC of .453, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 19.4 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.
- Carries 1,515 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 43 more than Nosler's Ballistic Tip 115-grain Spitzer
- Keeps 2,262 fps at 400 yards
- About 7 percent less estimated recoil than Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST
- Ties Nosler's Ballistic Tip 115-grain Spitzer for the slowest start of the loads compared, 100 fps behind Black Hills Gold's 117-grain SST
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
