RE: 25-06 or 270 question
I hate to see a person selling all their equipment. But there is such a thing as only truly needing one rifle, and knowing how to use it. I would only consider a 30 caliber if I could only have one. My minimum would be a 30-06. Especially if you are selling your reloading equipment. You can buy 30-06 ammo for a pretty good price, and there is also a good bit of practice ammo available.
I would consider the 270, but the 25-06 would not even be in the running. Tom.
