IMHO the 25-06 is very underrated. I have a MOA Ruger 77 that I reload for using 50 grains of IMR 4350 behind 117 Grain Hornady BTSPs in Winchester or Hornady case and CCI primers. That load is 3025 fps & 2409 ft/lbs at the muzzle and is still going 2349 fps & 1433 ft/lbs at 300 yards. I use it for antelope on windy days when I leave the .243 Sako behind, as well as for mulies. Recoil is negligible compared to my 30-06s!
