About LinkBacksAfter 20 pages I've forgotten if I chipped in or not. Old age.
My first rifle after my P14 303 was a Browning A-Bolt in 25-06 - the 60deg bolt lift with length wise fluted bolt was a laser. I was determined to get my first wild deer with it solo hunting the Waimak above Klondike Corner...and in early 1996 did that in the Crow River with 39x40 Red Stag (8 big points and 1 little one, it scored just over 277DS from memory). It loved 2209 and 100grain Hornadys - and flattened big pigs well too. I loaded 25-06 for a friend and he used his well accounting for a lot of deer.
A great caliber in my opinion. I like it more than 243 but perhaps not as much 260 or 7mm calibers if I set aside the nostalgia.
