Yes,Yes and yes ,very good accuracy out of my 25/06,a bit hard on fox skins and rabbits certainly feel no pain but I will say they are not the greatest on Fallow.Nosler list them as a Varmint projie though

85gr ballistic tip in my experience is extremely accurate in my 25-06 and is good for long range sniping given its relatively high B.C. Smashes foxes and rabbits as far as you can see/hit em.
However I think it is a little inadequate for medium game like goats etc, due to its rapidly fragmenting characteristics.
I would personally prefer the sierra 90gr HPBT for goats and small piggies. It should hold together a little better than the 85gr BT.
Having said that, a well placed shot with a 85gr BT should have no problem taking down a goat.
cheers mate.
