    Unrelated thread. Why the 25-06 sucks

    Haha couldn't resist.
    And I don't even have a 308.
    What a stupid argument. Absolute dig

    22LONG RIFLE IS THE BEST CALIBER WHY PUT UP WITH RECOIL. IT HAS A WAY BETTER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT THAN ANY 30 CAL

    Well, the one thing it does have going for it is projectile availability...

    Have a look at the Gunworks website, it is just about the only caliber where all the options are still available. Even on the .458 side things are starting to look a bit grim...

    It was doomed from the start when they used the gay 270 as the parent case and introduced it as the 25/270....upon realizing thier mistake they tried to man it up by re-naming it the 25/oughtsix but alas the damage was already done.
    They knew, in hindsight they should've parented it off the 08 case, given it a 40° shoulder and it would've been a best seller to this day!

    I actually have never understood the 25-06 seems a bit of a retarded invention really all that powder just to puff out an anemic projectile that will only kill cleanly at the same ranges a 243 is more than capable of pushing it. Strange

    Is that because nobody wants them?

    They work bloody well, one of the cartridges that has to be seen to be believed, rather than reading paper ballistics. Mate here has killed hundreds of sika with the humble 100gr nosler BT's.

    A mate made a living using a his 25-06 in the deer recovery days, flat shooting for longer ranges for those days.
