RE: 25-06 elk load.............
Dead is dead, it doesnt matter if you hit them with a hand thrown rock, or with a modern day Magnum in large caliber. I just really think that it is funny how people doubt the effectiveness of yesterdays tried and true guns just because there are all of these short action magnums now available. Sure the new cartridges have thier advantages, but most are simply just a small improvement on what has been around for generations. The 25-06 is a good and accurate low to moderate recoil round.
