Hello, my name is Ed. I am new to this forum as most of you are aware. I have a question about two different calibers. My question is which caliber is more accurate at a further range, the 25-06 or the .300 mag? This cartrige will be used for deer hunting.
What caliber it is doesn' t tell you how accurate that it will be . True some bullets are better than others as far as accuracy but that has to do with the way its designed rather than what caliber it is . All of this means nothing if you don' t have a well setup,accurate gun to begin with .
We need mor einformation before we can give you an educated opinion. What are you using the gun for, what type of game? WIll it be your one and only rifle or not? Realistically, how far will you be shooting? How big is the game you are hunting? Are you hunting moose or whitetail deer?
well i will be hunting deer with this rifle. I would also like this gun for the range. I have several rifles but want a long range rifle. Perhaps a rifle that is capable at a 300 yard shot accuratly. I most likely will not shoot a deer at this range but it would be nice to know that I could.
For 300 yards or less, take the 25-06 and don' t look back. For truly long range shooting (not hunting) of 1000 yards the 300 usually gets the nod due to a better BC and more stable bullets than the 25' s. But for deer hunting under 300 yards they will both do fine.
