The 25.06 is going to have a higher muzzle velocity, but the .243 is a little flatter shooting.

If you hit the deer right, it will be dead with either round. Not really enough difference to worry about.

IMO, they are a pretty close in most areas and like said they will both kill deer just as dead... I happen to have both and like the 25-06 better, not because the round is better butmy 25-06is set up different thanmy .243, it'sset up for varmint shooting, it is heavyand shoots sweet!!!!!!!! Great box stand gun, but if I were to behiking a ways to hunt I would not hesitate for one secondto take the .243 out in the woods....
