RE: 25-06 for deer
I use a 25-06 for deer and woodchucks! The 120gr Hornandy HP is a great bullet for deer...I also took a New Mexico pronghorn with it this past August <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I use the same gun but different scope & bullet for chucks. Last year was my longest...503 yards! Why get a .270 or .280 when a 25-06 can do it all with less recoil?
