ORIGINAL: Rammer
I've seen probably a handful of deer shot with a 25-06, and I have yet to see it anchor a deer in its tracks.
This year is the first time I've ever personally used a quarter bore. My 25wssm didn't drop a deer dead in its tracks either.
My 243 always drops 'em dead in there tracks, and my 7mm Rem Mag (rifle of choice), really knocks 'em dead.
OK gotta ask, what's the difference in "dead in their tracks" and "really knocks 'em dead?"[8D][8D]
Back to the original question....Shot a doe this past season at 125 yards and she ran about 30 yards. No problem tracking as the 117 grainSierra Game King opened up some pretty nice holes.
