RE: What caliber for deer 7mm08 or 25-06 ?
I would say no. I load for both and they are simple and not fussy about loads. My 25-06 will shoot sub one inch groups as will the 7mm-08. That is when both are loaded with their prefered loads. The 7mm-08 may be a bit better for game larger than deer. The 7mm-08 will take elk out to 250 yards or so without a problem. Most would consider the 25-06 a bit light for Elk. I would use it in a pinch but its not a certified elk cartridge. For just deer the 25-06 would be my choice. Both are excellent.
