I've never had a problem with my dad's 25. Started shooting when i was 13. I've killed deer as far as 398yds and as close as 10ft. All were dead with a well placed shot. We started out using 120gr. Pos. expanding Winchester loads that worked great. Now shooting 115gr Ballistic silver tips. My uncle who i've always hunted with could tell by the sound of the gun when i shot it. We love our 25/06 and will never go without it.
