The .25-06 is an excellent cartridge. I'd be lost without mine. It shoots nice and flat, bucks wind well, and since I handload, I can load down to 75 gr. v-max bullets (that shoot very fast and very accurately, I might add), to Accubonds, Partitions, and the likes up to 120 grains.

I would have no problems using my 25-06 on elk-sized game if given the opportunity.
