[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2191265, member: 105681"] I have both, but I always target, varmint, loan or hunt with my 25-06. For younger shooters they seem to handle the 25-06 fine, while the 257 W has a little too much muzzle blast and recoil for them. The price for ammo on the Weatherby is double the 25-06. Brass is no comparison in favor of 25-06. With a 115 Berger my Ruger No. 1 will shoot under half inch groups at 3200 fps. It's killed a ton of mule deer, blacktail and hogs over the years. I've actually killed my first 3 bull elk with 120 grain Partition's. I just haven't seen enough advantages with hunting situations to use my Weatherby. I probably don't help the Roy as I only shoot factory ammo out of it, while I reload for the 25-06. If it's not broken don't fix it kinda scenario so I just keep reaching for the 06. I also have a 257 Roberts and have been playing with it quite a bit lately. The Bob shoots 115 Ballistic Tips at 2800, so considerably different than it's big brothers. [/QUOTE]
