Im not saying its not a good round but looking at the ballistics the ammo manufacturers give you is way off. I think it would be a good deer round out to 200 mabee even 300 yards with the right bullet selection. Its just the ammo manufacturers say it should have 6in less drom then my 300 WSM at 500 yards but has 13in more drop.
I'm not sure how you can even compare a 25wssm to a 300wsm?
Since I've owned both the cartridges you are talkin about, I know for a fact that a 25WSSM will take a deer at 429 yards with a complete pass thru shot.
