RE: rate of twist in 25-06
I like -- amend that -- love the .25-06 very much. Great for any deer and pronghorn antelope. Flat shooting. Doubles on varmints, particularly coyote. Even so the .270 is just as good for practical purposes. I have a .25-06 and don't see any circumstances where I would buy a .270. If I had a .270 I think I would feel the same way about buying a .25-06. These are pretty close to each other in capability and roles. I have a .30-06 which is the rifle I'll take for any elk hunting or mountain goat hunting. What would I hunt that is too big for the .25-06 but too small for the .30-06?
