The grain of bullet you use depends on many things including your weapon, the distance between you and the target, wind conditions etc. When you buy your bullets just ask someone there to help you. Most sporting goods stores hear this question often and won't make you feel stupid to ask for their "opinion". My husband uses 150 gr in his 7mm. for shooting deer in Utah in October...:)

25-06 caliber good for deer hunting?
Absolutely ! I have taken several with mine. It is a very flat shooting cartridge with very mild recoil. I prefer the 117 - 120 grain bullets, as opposed to the lighter 75 - 100 gr. The lighter bullets are great if you also wish to do some groundhog or coyote hunting. You can shoot a deer from 500 meters away with a 120 grain bullet! All you need to do is zero a scope in and take the crossair slightly above the deer and BAM! You've got a trophy waiting for you 500 meters away!
