The 25-06 is a great deer round. Of course there are hundreds of
great deer rounds.
I could never tell the difference between the 117/120gr 25s
130gr 270s, and 150 30-06s, on even the biggest deer.
I mean when cleaning the deer too, not just killing power.
We load all three here in '06 cases.
We have cleaned three seperate deer, several times, when all 3 calibers were used on the same morning.
The wounds are virtually the same (now we load each with JSP ammo, no ballistic tips. That might make a difference).
Just my observation.
The deer had no observation!
