The 25-06 will kill any deer in any situation as well as the 270 or 30-06 and is a better varmint cartridge than either.
The .243 will kill any deer in any situation as well as the 25-06
and is a better varmint cartridge.
zrexpilot I know your a .243 fanand I won't cut down your favorite round
BUT your statement just don't cut it. The 25-06 with its heavier bullets holds more down range energy for deer sized game. As for varmits the 25.06 will push equal weight bullets faster & flatter. Yes the .243 has lighter bullets which itcan push to about the same speed .
Yes the .243 is a good round but it can not compare to the 25-06 as the game approaches deer sized.
