You'd probably take that load to around 400 yds on an elk without much worry.
I know that for a fact at 500yds the 100 gr. Partitions will go through the boiler room of a whitetail doe, even when breaking a rib on the way in.
Now most off the shelf 25'06's won't start a 100gr. Pill at 3440fps. But mine does.
(25" gain twist, and moly coated bullets)
Maybe take 30-50yds. Less for a 24" barrelled 25'06.
I'm also sorry because I noticed you said caliber, but I listed cartridges.
I hope that isn't a problem.
