Y'all forgot,
I never miss!
Gun's are made for killing, they aren't good for nothing else.
If you get some sick perverse pleasure from shooting a '06 at 25 yards - then you must not be much of a shot.
I believe that the longest known documented shot with a '06 was over2000 yards, which is more than a mile.
While I do agree Butch needs to accurately sight in his rifle, I must say I am one of those sick perverse people who enjoy shooting a gun at 25 yards, with an '06, at shotgun shells, provided that the '06 has a Limb-Saver recoil pad on.
I don't think guns are just for killing, I think a .22 LR suits me better for shooting at spent shotgun shells at 15-20 yards, and shooting the box that held a brick of .22 LRammo.
