[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2253255, member: 36951"] I use two 25-06s and three 243s. Quite a few kills with the various 243 loads. Not as many with the 25-06. Preferred bullet in both 25s is the Sierra 100 GK. Soft enough in marmots to pop em and firm enough to exit a chest shot deer. It is “enough” per Ruark. I prefer the Hornady 87 HP or Nosler 90 BT for deer and pronghorn. The 70 Varmageddon gets the nod for varmints. Again, “enough.” I have not shot elk with either caliber. Would I prefer more, like 35 and up? Usually. But in our WY breezes, some speed helps sometimes. And light recoil is nice. [/QUOTE]
