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.

Product Overview
Nosler's Ballistic Tip 115-grain Spitzer is a polymer-tipped .25-06 load made for deer-sized game. Nosler's polymer tip caps a boat-tail spitzer with a lead core, and at 115 grains the bullet sits just under the 117-grain loads it competes with. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 2,298 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .453.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 11.2 inches at 300 and 25.4 inches at 400, where 1,256 ft-lbs remain.
If you're cross-shopping, HSM's Trophy Gold 115-grain Berger VLD is the same weight at the same speed on a higher G1 BC of .483, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 24.9 inches at 400. Black Hills Gold's 117-grain SST starts 100 fps faster and from that zero drops 24.6 inches at 400.
- A higher G1 BC than the three SST loads compared at .390
- Carries 1,472 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 47 more than HSM's Game King 117-grain Sierra Spitzer BT
- About 7 percent less estimated recoil than Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST
- HSM's Trophy Gold 115-grain Berger VLD carries 43 ft-lbs more at 300 yards from identical muzzle figures
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
