What's everyone's thoughts about this caliber rifle for deer hunting? I have a single shot bull barrel that I am thinking about using this year, never used one for hunting.

Don't use ballistic tips in it. Just kidding, I love my 25.06.

25-06 is a damn fine deer caliber. My brother killed a truckload of deer with one. Light recoil, hard hitting.

It's all I have hunted with for the last 20 or so years. I shoot Federal Premium Vital Shock 115 gr. Nosler Partitions out of it and deer have a habit of dying from it. With that weight of bullet there's not much kick and vitals get destroyed. There's lots of calibers that will do the same though, but I love my 25.06 above everything else in my safe. Everyone that I personally know that have them, love them.

I prolly killed a hundred deer with a Rem 700 25/06. I shot 100gr Hornady SPs at 3400. It hit like a hand grenade at close range. Prolly the finest greenfield gun I've ever owned.

I did not like the way it reacted on big bones and it just would not shoot ANY bonded bullets. I would of preferred the 100gr Nosler Partition for all round hunting.

Light recoil and accurate.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Based on the 30.06 necked down to a 6.5 mm ,,the .25 will do the job on deer and has killed many an elk...but more suitable for medium sized game like whitetail ..

Ballistics ,,fast and flat shooting even with different weight bullets,,

it's recommended that a person get the rifle of their choice with a barrel longer than 22 inches for velocity and also muzzle blast considerations.

115 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertip deals a heavy blow out to around 200 yards.

I enjoy mine and it performs well with minimum recoil. I wonder why more folks don't select the 25.06 for beginners?

It's a 30-06 necked down to a .257. Not 6.5mm. That would be the badass 6.5-06 that outta have more popularity than it does.

My grandson's girlfriend (hopefully future granddaughter-in-law) shoots one and she is deadly with it.

P.O.Ackley&Neidner get the baby '06 invention credit. Bf1966 good as the .25 is it ain't the light seductive .243. The only knock is it is bonded bullet picky.


Only hits count.

I know ammo selection is an issue unless you reload but I am very curious about the .260...
