I just got some of these to give them a try on Yotes /Jacks during this winter. Shot ten today to sight the rifle in with them -I like them alot !!
My load is 55 gr Varget for 3118 FPS 5 shot  groups 1.17" at 100yrds with a flyer-without flyer .75" very shootable for all day outings!! :grin:
One shot , One Kill

I have never esed the 125s in an 06 but I have some for my 308.  They were made by Cor-Bon and hold very tight groups at 200 yards.  Almost one half inch.  I did try some crazy testing on a few 2x4s and they little projectiles are still penitrating better then most varmint calibers, but they dont do the damage the larger 175gr match would.
   I have shot a doe with one and did not get complete penitration but it killed here quit well,I suspect the rounds in the 06 would penitrate all the way through a coyote, however they might leave a mess of the pelt.
