    I considered getting a 25-06 for my first rifle.. If I was able to hear all the hate-of-2506 replies I got on this forum after suggesting the idea I'd have gone deaf!
    So I got a .270 instead to keep all the .270 haters busy

    Nothing wrong with the .25/06 at all. Do anything you want from a hunting cartridge, and do it without kicking you to death. It would have to be about perfect as an all round red deer cartridge. I have had two.

    Here we are talking about degrees of perfection, all of them within the parameters of killing deer, which are not hard to kill, with a single well placed shot with a cheap bullet.

    Thus, we are able to be just as satisfied with the properties of the .243, the .257 Roberts and the .25/06 on deer, finessesing their performance with judiciously chosen bullets.

    (The .270 is in a different catagory simply because I believe it kicks more than many people find comfortable.)

    Godammit! not only do I have a 2506, I have a .270 as well!, does that double my "gayness"? can you double "gayness?", can someone quantify "gayness for me?

    Have spent a lot of time chasing blokes in leather, does that count?, on a good day they have to chase me instead! Am a good dance teacher too by the way ...... oh hell the gay points just keep piling up !, can't count the number of times beer filled stroppy boyfriends have told me I'm gay and then tried to fill me in on a dance floor when I have given their girl a spin around the floor and made her night! allways ends the same way for them. Will the fact I have rifles like 7mmMag, 300Wby and, oh my god!,a 6.5x55 give me points reducing the gayness caused by my 25odd and .270?

    I am now confused and insecure,, I love my .25 but it makes me out of step with the majority and it's hard to blend in, should I give it up before it turns me completely or is it already too late................ Does the solution to this conundrum lie in the bottom of a bottle of Dr Jack?, he often has the answer to stuff you know.

    As for those .243 people, man, you want to watch them fuckers!

    Unfortunately the username of 257weatherby brings one down to an insurmountable low

    Yep. Hard to take anyone seriously with a name like that. he should change it to 270winchester to restore his masculinity and open his self to even more ridicule

    Or maybe he could change his name to 257roberts and show his hipster side
