25.06 is that good for deer/predater or is there a better one

[smoothsteve]

Is the 25.06 one of the best cartige for both deer and yote becasue that is what i am mainly hunting . I was also wandering if any of you thought that there was a better one

[Howler]

IMO, 25-06 is better for deer than coyote, but is it too much for coyote? Probably not, is there a better caliber for both, that is debateable! Maybe the .243 might be better, that's if you want a debate or not

i kno a 22-250 is just the right medicine for coyote. it might be enough for a deer, a small deer. If you get lucky then itll drop a deer.

the 25. 06 will work great for both of them. may be a little hard on yote pelts, but it'll knock em dead

[johnkeltgen]

I agree with young_gun... my uncle has a .25-06 and it does a number on 'yotes! Accurate as heck too.

Great caliber for both.
Get some 120 gr. for deer
and some 75,85,90 gr. for 'yotes. If you want to keep the hide with as little damage as possible try a FMJ from Barnes. Be careful of what is behind your target as these may continue a long way and or riccochet.
