Unrelated thread. Why the 25-06 sucks

[XR500]

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

Its an invention from years gone by when there was only a fraction of the powders available that we have now. Yes, its been superceded by more efficient cartridges, but its still a hammer of thor in the right (reloading) hands
