[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1518247, member: 10755"] This is where we disagree. The 25-06 is a medium to large game cartridge that CAN double as a varmint round. I see the varmint/medium light game rounds start and finish at .243/6mm. This is one cal I will ALWAYS skip over and have zero interest in. Seen too many deer wounded by these, and honestly think they are suited to pigs or goats as being the biggest things they should be used on, but that is only MY OPINION. Comparing 25 cal to 6.5 is really splitting hairs, I have both cals, the 25-06 outperforms my 6.5x47, even when comparing a 115/120gr against a 125gr, is about equal to my 6.5-284 with 115gr against a 140gr and almost competes with my 264WM with 140’s, the 264 pushes a 140 at a bit over 3230fps, the 25-06 pushes a 115gr a bit over 3200fps as well. Neither cal kills any quicker than the other and I can’t ‘see’ a difference in impact between the 2, dead is dead. As the old saying goes, it’s NOT WHAT you hit them with, it’s WHERE you hit them that counts. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
