adam, it really is a great round. a friend of mine shoots a 700 in this cal. his dad had a pet load he came up with that we never got to discover but whats left of his reloads are unreal. varmint wise (well compared to .243) great round. i would own one by now except that for every deer i kill in a northampton county corn field, there is another in a pike county swamp. simply put, when your in thick and the angle is less than perfect, i would like something more than 117 grains. i kill most my deer with a .308 and have never knocked one flat in its tracks! i have seen two get this pill and drop like lightning hit them. it is def the next rifle i would like to have. i can imagine midwest folk love what this caliber has to offer also

Well, I have two rifles in 25-06. The first one is a Ruger #1B that looks all beat to hell. I got into it cheap enough that it will work as the donor for a .35 Whelen build I'm thinking of. They say, "Don't shoot the donor." That this is an absolute tack driver. Oh well, back to the drawing board. FWIW, it only likes 120 gr. bullets and that's OK with me. A few months later I came across another Ruger #1B in 25-06 that looked absolutely mint. Compared to the beater, it thinks it's a shot gun.
 I'll tinker with it a bit but I strongly suspect it will end up being the donor.Paul B.
