Anyone know if the .25-06 is loaded down? Seems like compared to a .270 it would shoot faster than it does....someone stated that a .270 and a 6mm rem will do everything the .25-06 will only better in every category that mattered.
As you go up one caliber at a time the same bullet will go faster usually about 100 fps 25-06 vs the 6mm or 243 is a perfect example. Some would say the 25-06 with a 120 grain bullet should do everything a 270 with a 130 will do except not have the frontal area. 270 is a dropper....I think the 6mm or 243 are not quite in the 25-06 range even though I have killed a lot of deer with either as have my friends. I am basing that on one deer I killed which based on the internet should be recorded fact.
