A 25-06 with a 120gr is so close to a 130 gr loaded .270 it's almost a pointless discussion.I shoot a .270 and my son a 25-06.He took a both lungs and two ribs[entering + exiting] a 3pt bull elk this fall at 400yards.It never made it out of the field.Same load went through a black bear lengthways chest to hoop.I'd shoot anything up to and including moose with either no problem...................Harold [The 25-06 recoils slightly less]
