[QUOTE="shade mt, post: 296612, member: 18680"] yobuck... i am actually from juniata county. Where are you from? seems i could be getting misunderstood here. I am not saying a 25-06 has as much power as a 300 mag ,,sure their is a big difference in power, but what i am saying is at moderate range it kills just as quickly, if i shoot a deer in the shoulder with my 300 mag and it drops on the spot , and i shoot a deer with a 25-06 and it drops on the spot, dead is dead regardless of how much damage was done or meat loss ( actually i have found the 25-06 to be hard on meat at less than 200yds) nor would i choose a 25-06 for marginal shots. i once shot a nice buck at right around 300 yds on a power line he ran straight across and never stopped till he was just inside the woods, and then he was walking straight away, i put the crosshairs of my 300 win on the base of his tail and squeezed the trigger i found him piled up right where he stood the bullet went in the right ham and exited the left shouder, i would not have taken the shot with my 25-06 yet a broadside shot at that range would have resulted in a dead buck regardless of caliber... thus with a good shot and a good bullet " not a nickles worth of difference" [/QUOTE]
