[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 393491, member: 22262"] Let me try to expalin this to you with some numbers to help back it up. I crunched the numbers in a ballistic program of 3 bullets. The 115 Berger for the 25-06, the 140 Berger for the 270, and the 168 Berger for the 30-06. The reason i used these three bullets is because they are all close to the same BC. here is how the chart looks 115 Berger 140 Berger 168 Berger BC .466 .487 .473 zero 100yards 100 100 300y 9.5 inches drop 10.3 11.4 500y 41.3 44.1 48.4 700y 103.4 109.4 120 850y 176.6 185.8 205 1000y 280 293 324 So to sum that up the ballistics are better on the 25-06 than the other two. The 25 is going to have less recoil because it is shooting a lighter bullet. I cant really tell you how much because that depends on the gun but the rule of thumb is the heavier the bullet the more it kicks. Hope this helps you, if not ask any more questions and ill try to help. [/QUOTE]
