[QUOTE="bert2368, post: 2340153, member: 93675"] Talk to old timers about deer and the .257 Roberts, let alone .257 Bob Ackley Improved- They often have similar feelings and used these several decades longer... I can't complain about my experiences with a .25-06 firing around 100gr. SP projectiles either, but more powder, noise & recoil. High velocity quarter bores are certainly in "the sweet spot" for whitetails. I happen to like 6.5-284 NORMA myself, but I've got a bean field to shoot over and the recoil doesn't bother me.
