[QUOTE="Carbine Kid, post: 2315750, member: 59686"] I reckon the 25-06 is ideal for all Oz thin skin game. My second rifle was a Rem Sendero in 25-06. I found it a bit heavy for carry on pigs (no bikes back then) so I got a Rem ADL 25-06 and it is due for it's 3rd bbl now. I thought of AI ing it but after AI ing a 30-06 decided it was not worth it as Sambur didn't fall over any quicker however it's range was increased. The Sendero went to a blueprinted 6x284 with Re23 for 1200 rounds and is a 308 now. Ran 2209 or 760 behind a 100gn Nosler solid base all their lives. Never lost a thing hit with it. Always carried 115gn Nosler Partitions if anything bigger than pigs popped up. With over 58yrs of hunting the recoil is a bit much for me now so I have gone back to the first cal I ever owned a 243 in an ABolt. This will see out my hunting days and there is always the SSAA range to fall back on. [/QUOTE]
