[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1388830, member: 74902"] Have both and shot both for several years. Finally came time to replace my 25-06 barrel. I am replacing it with a 6.5 CM barrel. Killed a lot of stuff with the 25-06 and it can make some spectacular kills, especially inside 300 yards. But the CM just does so much better in the wind and the wind is usually what limits me with the 25-06. Plus, with the 25-06 you are pushing about ~20% more powder thru a smaller hole. So the CM will get better barrel life. Also as others have said, a shorter barrel doesn't handicap the CM as much as it does the 25-06. [/QUOTE]
