[QUOTE="06caurru, post: 2996000, member: 127216"] Ok, I have both a 25-06 and a 30-06. Both are 22” barreled. Since I’ve been reloading for a couple years now, I have been wondering why one would choose the 25-06 with a 100-117gr bullet going 3200-3300fps ( upper loads in Lee Manual) instead of a 30-06 with a 130gr bullet going 3200fps (upper load Lee Manual) for deer and antelope? I always hear about how ‘flat-shooting’ the 25-06 is, and understand that, but I’d have to venture to guess a lighter weight bullet traveling at a good clip out of the 30-06 would also have a flatter trajectory, as well as pack more energy as it’d be carrying a few more grains of bullet weight. Am I missing something? I must be. Can someone please explain the science to me as I’m a little slow….? [/QUOTE]
