[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1293271, member: 95235"] Where are you shooting deer? For the heavy bodied WI deer I hunt I went with the additional punch you get with the 25-06. In the bullets that factory twits will stabilize, the 115 and 120 gr. in .257 vs 100 gr. .243 there is no contest. I run the 115 bergers at 3300. Have your daughter practice with your 22-250 if you are concerned about her developing a flinch. She won't notice the recoil at all when there's a deer in from of her. I know people say that the .243 is a great deer round, but the 25-06 gives you more margin for error. And we're talking about a kid shooting their first deer. There's no guarantee that shot placement will be perfect with all that excitement. With light bullets for coyotes the 25-06 is a lazer for your needs. The only down side is there are no common high BC bullets nor would a factory barrel stabilize them. I would like to have a .243, but it would not be a deer gun for me. [/QUOTE]
