[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1399207, member: 68875"] .25-06AI if you don't mind fire forming and reloading for it. I have had a .25-06AI for a long time. A great hunting round for deer/antelope out to 700 or so. 28" #4 barrel on mine and pushing a 115 Berger HVLD @ 3460fps. I had them up to nearly 3600, but accuracy was better at the 3460 speeds. I also had a 100 TTSX load at 3650fps. I would think you might be 100-150fps slower with a 24" barrel, but still plenty for zapping deer. Shot a big bodied muley @ 488 with a hard quartering on pass through. Entered neck/shoulder, exited off side hip. Deer was stone cold dead on his feet, and stood there for 3 seconds before keeling over without a twitch. That rifle took a lot of deer for myself and family & friends. All one and done. Speed kills. I still have not drawn the AZ antelope tag I specifically built this rifle for about 14 years ago. I think I have about 700 rounds down the barrel, and it still shoots in the .3s.
