[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1057367, member: 10178"] I am a died in the wool 25-06 for deer person. BUT! When you throw in over 600 yards to the mix I would choose the 6.5 with 140 gr high coefficient bullets. With the 115-20 gr bullets in the 25-06 they just loose too much past 600 yards from my experience for reliable killing effect on deer. In shooting my 6.5x55 with 140 Sierra Game Kings at 2850 fps muzzle it has better terminal effects past 500 yards and the drop and wind dope is less than the 25-06. Plus if your friend is going to be shooting at these long ranges she is going to have to practice A LOT. The barrel on a 6.5 C will last a lot longer than a 25-06. [/QUOTE]
