[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 506819, member: 8622"] Sure Bart - a guy can get roughly the same ballistics from several different cartridges. The ones that come to mind are the .257 AI, possibly the .25 Souper, and of course the .257 Weatherby mag outdoes them all with sheer velocity. Some are handloading only propositions, and the Weatherby can be very expensive to feed. I've got a .25-06 and my son shoots a .257 Weatherby that's been in our family since Weatherby built it on a Mauser action back in the late 1940's. Great old rifle. They both do about the same thing on deer - which means they induce instant or near instant death without knocking the snot out of the shooter. Do like the fact though, that a guy shooting a .25-06 can get reasonably priced ammo at just about any western sporting goods store. That goes well with the OP who said he's not likely to be doing much handloading. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
