[QUOTE="th82457, post: 1697023, member: 35153"] For mule deer, whitetails or antelope - I have yet to find a better stop them in their tracks cartridge than the 25-06. I have used the 6mm's through the .300 Magnums and the most reliable performer on these size animals for me has been the 25-06 with either a 100 or 115gr Nosler handloaded bullet. This is based on 39 years or so of hunting with several 25-06 rifles. If elk or moose are the target then I use a 30 cal. or .338. Just my two cents. Not sure what a 6.5 does that a 25-06 will not on deer sized critters. Now if purpose is for long range target shooting only then the 6.5's offer a better bullet selection & some ballistic advantage depending on cartridge. Good Luck with whatever cartridge you decide on. [/QUOTE]
