The 25-06 is a excellent round. I believe its to hot to take say to a prairie dog town, It will absolutely turn a coyote inside out. I love em. Though it does quite a bit of damage to the pelt, if that is a concern. with me its not. You can kill anything up to and including elk so long as you take reasonable shots. As to range, I would say that the gun will shoot farther than either you or I are capable of, so the limit will be your abilities.

I've had extremely good luck with my 25-06. I have been able to get groups with 75 grain V-Maxes, and they pack enough punch to kill a coyote much, much further than I can shoot. Hit a coyote with a 25-06, and it is going down.

I also like the .270 as you can shoot 100 gr bullets at 3320 fps for varmints and you can step up to 150 gr bullets at 2930 fps for elk. It is a little more versatile.The 25.06 offers 85 gr to 120 on this ballistic chart.
