[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 230149, member: 10178"] You did not say what game you will be shooting but for deer size game I think the 25-06 is the best caliber bar none for the job. I helped control hunt a big farm in NC for 13 years with my buddy and we had to take 100 deer a year. We learned what killed deer and what did not. We shot deer with about every caliber you could come up with through 45-70 and we both shoot 25-06's as our main deer rifles. The 6.5's from 260 to 264 Mag come in a strong second. My buddy and I both like the 117 Sierra's in the 25-06 best. They just drop a deer in its tracks 99% of the time. You could always do worse like with a 7mm Mag. Worst caliber we found for shooting deer. They run off to far after taking a good hit. [/QUOTE]
