RE: Your feelings on the 25-06....
No good on large deer,tell that to the 31 1/2 inch wide,189 7/8 B&C mule deer thats hanging on my wall.He fell to one shot,115 gr nosler.He hit the ground all stiff legged like someone hit him with a 2x4.
I have killed sssssssooooooo many deer with the 25-06 it ain't funny,even got a elk or two with it(works but there are better tools).I'am a HUGE fan of the round.
