Default RE: Cartridge selection...need help

Do they shoot flat and far enough? I would stick with the heavier bullets for both calibers. like 110 grains and higher for deer. With the 25-06 i would limit my shots to about 400 yards and 500 yards for the 7mm-08. With a 200 yards zero they both drop between 7 and 8 inches at 300 yards, and approx 21 inches at 400 yards. Compare them to a 30-06 with 150 grain bullet that drops 8 inches at 300 yards and 25 inches at 400 yards with a 200 yard zero. I think they shoot plenty flat enough and have plenty of power for what you will be using them for.
