    25-06 why hasn't it achieved fame and success in New Zealand?

    I've been pondering this for a while and after nailing a big bodied 8 point red stag at 170m with a 117gr federal power shok load recently, I've been seriously asking myself and drilling my brain..... why isn't it more popular?

    Is it that its overshadowed by the .270,308/708 and its smaller rival the 243?or is it just that there's a lack of hunters whom use it and as such leading to its lack of familiarity?

    or is it that 25cal has never really caught on in New Zealand sadly like the 257 roberts?

    .25-06 Remington

    have a read of that and see what the Americans think of it....

    In my opinion,my dead serious opinion its without a doubt the best bang for your buck,minimal recoil at best,kills effeciently,flat shooting,good bullet selection,widely available and covers the species we have here with ease....

    Please go ahead and offer your thoughts
