[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 293852, member: 18756"] Montana, If we keep 1000 lbs. minimum requirement for deer in mind, you cannot shoot deer with a 25-06 at 700 yards, actually, the 25-06 runs out at 550 (1002 lbs.) yards using Federal Vital Shock with 110 Nosler Accubond at 3100 fps. On the other hand a 308 using Hornady Light Mag with 150 Gr. SST at 3000 fps. will carry enough energy (1013 lbs.) out to 675 yards with the same drift as the 25-06. So in reality, eventhough the 308 is still a better long range caliber, neither of the two calibers are able to take deer cleanly out to 700 yards, that's where you need a 7mm Mag. or 300 Mag. P.S. A slow heavy bullet with reach out further than a fast light bullet! -X3M [/QUOTE]
