[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 737692, member: 23486"] Sure, If you go 243 you will get: Short Action= less weight+faster bolt manipulation WAY better bullet selection WAY better Ballistic coefficient options Lapua Brass Less Recoil With the 25-06 you will get: Heavier bullets with a poor BC :rolleyes: (115 VLD will net you all of .466) A little more poop on the receiving end (moderate range). A higher cross sectional area Might net more velocity If you are limiting the game size up to Deer & 'lopes only, I have got to vote 243, flat out, hands down winner IMHO. If you intend to throw heavier critters in to the mix (elk) I would probably vote 25-06 for more bullet weight (a whopping 5grains) & diameter. The 6mm bore size is getting a LOT more attention than the quarterbore, which means better component selection. t [/QUOTE]
