If you are recoil sensitive the 25-06 will do anything that the 270win will on deer.If recoil is not a problem the 7mmremmag offers about the same recoil as a 270wsm and offers a much better selection of factory loads.It is also just a bit better for use on larger game such as elk and moose.Some people will claim that the recoil of the 270wsm is less than that of the 7mmremmag,but most of the rifles chambered in 270wsm are lighter than the 7mmremmag,and less weight increases feltrecoil.
