[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 295796, member: 13833"] I purchased one of the first factory 25-06's out in 1969, a 700 rem BDL I killed in excess of 50 head of game over many years including deer, bear AND elk. I am in full agreement that the 25 will put deer down as fast as anything! I will note, however , that much of the reason, say over the 300 mag, is due to bullet construction. The same reason the bergers kill quickly. When I hunted elk with the 25 I used a nosler partition with very good results out to 400 yds or more. I am still shooting that rifle barreled in 6.5 sherman (my own design) As with anything "common sense is the rule" NO MAGIC! If you shot the same deer with a thin skinned 300 mag bullet in the 150 gr. class, believe me, he would drop just as fast! If you used a solid copper design straight through the ribs, he might take a couple more steps. WHATEVER IT'S WORTH....Rich [/QUOTE]
