[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2653855, member: 101791"] I witch from a 300 H & H Mag to a 25/06 in the mid 70'. It became my go to rifle for a great many years hunt deer size or smaller animals. Move to hunting elk and more up in calibers. Both my boy's started out with 25/06's. Gee I don't why? They both took there first deer's with those rifles. As far as twist rates. Copper bullets hadn't really taken hold. So blame the gun builders about the twist rate. I just now gotten a rifle that is built for all copper bullets. So either you look for rifle being built now with faster twist rates or have a new barrel put on an action. So I don't really see the complaining about the rifle twist rate. Maybe a crystal ball would have work back then. I remember when the creekmore and the 260 Rem came out. Copper bullets weren't the big hit. Now with the copper bullet coming into age. Things are changing. So and update on barrels would go a long ways. [/QUOTE]
