RE: whitch is better a .243 or a 25-06?
25-06 all the way. excellent deer round. the .243is a good deer round too, but deer size game is about its limit. the 25-06 enters the next level with the ability to shoot 115-120 grain bullets. with a premium 115,117, or 120 grain bullet the 25-06 is an adequate round for elk and moose. some people probably disagree but thats just my opinion.
