[QUOTE="tknuts103, post: 2925880, member: 119653"] I think the 6.5 creedmoor is just as good as the 25-06 for a deer cartridge but I also think they are so close that no one or no deer would be able to tell a difference. I would take the 6.5 creedmoor just for bullet weight alone, I would much rather be shooting the 143 grain bullets over the 95 or 117s. The 25-06s main downfall is that it suffers from low bc bullets. While I have never lost a deer to the 25-06, the wind sure pushes that little bullet around so if hunting a windy day, which happens all the time, I give the nod to the 6.5 creedmoor. I know some people don't like the 6.5 creedmoor but I think it is mainly because some hunters try to push it way past its limits. Can't go wrong either way but for a nonrealoader like myself, it's a no brainer [/QUOTE]
