[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2312132, member: 10755"] I will add, that a 25-06 is a more emphatic killer than any 6mm. I have personally taken NZ Elk with a 25-05, which I have 3 of, 2 have 26” barrels and 1 has a 24” barrel and they all drive tacks. I would recommend a 25-06 to an accomplished shooter and reloader, it is not a cartridge for a basic reloader, it requires powders that are slower than most manuals suggest and needs extra care taken when loading powders like RE25, Retumbo and US869. I also use magnum primers in all loads. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
