[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1709086, member: 14169"] I would use the 25-06 with a premium bullet. 6.5 whatever gives no advantage at 400 yards and you can still buy 25-06 more places than the 6.5. I have been shooting a 25-06 for over 25 years and even shooting Sierra cup and core bullets have never had any explode on the skin/shoulder. I will say that there have been shots where the bullet did fragment but on most of the shots I was able to find mostly whole bullets. When I went to the Barnes 100 grain bullet I never had any problem with penetration particularly when taking hard quartering shots. My 25-06 is a beat up Ruger with the tang safety and a stock barrel. Shoots less than .375 MOA all day long. [/QUOTE]
