[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 57205, member: 307"] The .25-06 is a very versatile cartridge. I wouldn't be skeered to use it on the biggest whitetail anywhere. It is phenominally flat shooting, very accurate and easy to load for. Some say it doesn't have a wide enough range of bullets but I don't see that at all. I've had real good luck/accuracy with the 75gr Sierra HP. I have some 75gr V-max's (a buddy gave them to me) that I haven't even tried yet. Another buddy shoots the .257 Roberts AI with the 90gr Sierra GK. He said Sierra recommended that bullet for whitetails. I've used the 100gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and the 100gr Barnes TSX this year for deer. Both bullets are equally accurate and devastating. I started deer season out using TSX's. Rifle was 3" high at 100yds. I ran low on the TSX and went to Ballistic Tips. Cleaned the barrel and shot the 100gr NBT's and they were 4" high! All I had to do was drop down four clicks. I'm currently working up a load with the 110gr AccuBond. I tried 53.5gr of RL22/w CCI BR2 yesterday and the group was just under 1". If the wind dies down on my range this evening I will try 54.0gr and see how that does. I'm shooting a Rem Sendero SF with Leupold 6.5-20x40 with Dual Dovetail rings/mounts. My buddy recently bought (guy with .257 Roberts AI) the Rem CDL in .25-06. He likes it but is currently having problems. He disassembeled it to clean it and now can't find the right pressure on the bedding screws. It's got the wooden pressure point in the barrel channel.
