About three years ago I picked up a rather nice Ranger Arms left handed bolt rifle in 25-06 . I purchased it for my wife mainly because I got it about 1/3 of what I deemed it worth . Anyway while damage control hunting that year I used it with the Nosler 100 grain Ballistic Tip in a handload and knocked the fire out of a large whitetail doe . I don't see any reason the bullet wouldn't work on a Mulie provided you put it through the ribs and both lungs !
I wouldn't have mentioned this other then the fact that I like the Nosler 25 cal 115 grain BT a bit more especially in the 25-06 . But a friend thats a died in the wool 25-06 man swears by the 100 BT in his rifles so I thought during Damage Control Hunting I'd give it a try and while I'm not gonna switch everything from 115 to 100 if push comes to shove and I'm out of 115's I think I can make do with the 100's !
