[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1788172, member: 97414"] Yuppers,,, the old school cartridge is soon to turn 101 years old very soon,,, happy birthday Mr. 1/4" bore... It took the back seat to the 270 Winchester,,, even the 6.5 A-square took a beating back then,,, the 280 took a bit to get off the ground as well... Any-who,,, the flat plains shooters kept it rocking,,, had it not been for them,,, Wives,,, and younger up-and coming shooters it might of faded away... The folks up in the far reaches of the North turned their noses up on this cartridge since it was considered to small for Moose,,, but times have changed on that old Wives tale since alot of folks recommend a 25/06 for light framed shooters and kids getting onto the hunting grounds... I always get a chuckle when someone asks for advice on buying a 25 for their wife or kids to take up hunting,,, each and every post is on board with this,,, but when a fully grown man asks this same question he gets told it's to small and he should be picking up and 300 or 338... Its the perfect cartridge for 1 group of hunters,,, but way to small for the grown up gentleman... Ha Yet the 25/06 has successfully taken every critter here in our Americas and a fair share of game in Europe and Africa... It has its shooting limits like every other cartridge made... I mentioned on other threads that I did the 6.5 A-square to try something different,,, when the time comes I'll scale up or down to a 25/06 or 270 factory cartridge,,, I have a few other rifles to plink with if life gets boring... 2 of my good friends in Northern Canada and 1 in Northern Ontario hunt Moose with the 25/06,,, we harvested 2 in the East last year... They put nice little holes in the wrappers,,, it turns the insides into pudding... Interlock or bounded's,,, Nosler Partions work awesome... They will punch threw a frozen 12" white popular tree like nothing... What the 25 lacks in frontal impacts,,, it makes up for getting into the grind past the Wrapper... Yuppers,,, the light framed shooters,,, kids and adults Wives like the offerings of the 1/4",,, Frugal and fun to shoot... I gave out 2 new budget Remington 25/06 rifles as hunting gifts last year... 1 to 1 1/2 MOA out of the box with a """non""" solid shooting rest and poor eye sight with shake-y hands... Not bad at all in my old hunting partners hands... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
