Overview

Built for deer hunting, this 25-06 Remington load is aimed at hunters who want controlled expansion and solid terminal performance in the field. The 117-grain InterLock Boat Tail Soft Point uses an exposed lead tip and InterLock ring to help keep the bullet together on impact, while the secant ogive design is part of Hornady’s approach to consistent performance. With brass cases and 20 rounds per box, it’s a practical option for sight-in sessions and opening-day use. It also suits target shooting, though its design is clearly centered on hunting applications.

Considerations & Trade-offs

20-round box means this is a relatively small quantity, so it may be best suited to sight-in, seasonal use, or topping off a hunting supply rather than high-volume practice.
The 117 gr InterLock Boat Tail Soft Point is described for hunting performance, but it is not a match-style or general-purpose training load.
This load is specific to 25-06 Rem., so it is only appropriate for rifles chambered for that cartridge.
The product description emphasizes controlled expansion and terminal performance, which suggests a hunting-focused design rather than a broad range of shooting applications.
