[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 2996494, member: 87214"] Recoil is a factor many would choose the 25-06 over the 30-06 also. I personally shoot 130gr Barnes in my 30-06 for deer size game and 165gr barnes for elk and bigger game. So, I sold my 25-06, the 130gr load is close in everything the 25-06 did, I'm getting 3220fps. With today's bullets I just see no need for 25, 270 etc in the 06 case. The 30-06 can be loaded to cover what they do. Might not be quite as efficient, but really close for me at hunting ranges.
