[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1031474, member: 10178"] I have used the 25-06 Rem. for around 25 years and it is an easy out to 500 yard deer slayer with 115 to 120 gr bullets. I have killed deer further away but works best inside 500 yards. I like 26" barrels and feel that it needs at least 24" barrel. It is easy to find a very accurate and deadly load with either H4831 or IMR 4350 and I have used a lot of different bullets over the years of doing crop damage control work of shooting hundreds of deer and it is my experience that it is hard to beat the old school 117 Sierra and I have had better accuracy with the flat base Pro Hunter over the Game King boat tail bullet. For out to 350 yards with no dialing or hold over sight in your rifle POI to be 3 inches high at 100 yards. With the 117 Sierra going 3000 fps you will be 3 1/2" high at 200 yards and dead on the money at 300 yards and about 4" low at 350 yards. Hold center of front shoulder squeeze the trigger from point blank to 350 yards and about 99% of the time you will find that deer laying right where it was standing dead as a hammer. Over all the 25-06 has been the best kill them in their tracks caliber I have ever used and I have killed deer with about everything from a stick to 45-70. I would take a long look at one of the Remington or Savage long range rifles in 25-06 or if you can find a used Remington Sendero in 25-06 they are great rifles. [/QUOTE]
