    A good read!
    My 25-06 seems to bowl over anything I put in front of it. Haven't stretched it's legs beyond 250m as I tend to get closer where possible. Smacked another deer over the weekend. Bang flop. Playing with handloads and currently have got it grouping .6 of an inch so far. Still trialling seating depths.

    I like the v8 analogy someone said earlier...yes it uses a bit of fuel but that just adds to the overall experience!

    Greetings All,
    I am really surprised that this thread has gone on so long. I don't own a .25-06 and never have but here is my two pence worth anyway. I think that the basic problem for the .25-06 is that it doesn't do things much better than a lot of smaller cartridges like the .257 Roberts and not quite as well as larger cartridges like the 6.5 mm and .270. The standard 1 in 10" twist limits its projectiles to 120 grains and rightly or wrongly it has gained a reputation as a barrel burner. Some of the current crop of 6.5mm cartridges leave it for dead. It's that simple.
    Regards Grandpamac.
