Solved from this product's advertised 2990 fps, 120gr bullet and G1 BC 0.362, 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
Remington's Core-Lokt 120-grain PSP is a pointed soft point .25-06 load made for big game, and at 120 grains it shares the heaviest bullet weight in the caliber. The jacket is locked mechanically to the lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,990 fps with 2,382 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .362.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 12.0 inches at 300 and 27.7 inches at 400, where 1,102 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's Fusion 120-grain Bonded SP matches the bullet weight on a much higher G1 BC of .468, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 25.5 inches at 400. Hornady's Superformance 117-grain SST starts 120 fps faster with a lighter bullet and from that zero drops 24.4 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,353 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A jacket locked mechanically to the core, where Federal's Fusion 120-grain Bonded SP bonds the two together
- Still moving at 2,033 fps at 400 yards
- The hardest-kicking load in the caliber, about 67 percent more estimated recoil than Winchester's 85-grain Ballistic Silvertip
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
