Shot lots of deer, groundhogs, yotes.
Outstanding caliber,
In my mind, this caliber is underestimated.
Yes this is my old lady rifles (formerly),
few years ago, we shot two deers, they were side by side,
She took Left, I took right.
they were at 125 yards.
25-06 was shooting a 100gr Bal-tip VS
300 WSM, 180 Accubond.
Guess what? No BS.
they do the same internal damage,
Yes, of course, both drop on the spot.
Kind of rear shoulder shot, on both, so I was able to compare, because shot placement were the same.
The Only difference:
After the 25-06 exploded the humerus the other side, the bullet stop there, and didnt go threw the skin.
were the 300 WSM, did the Same damage, meat and skeleton, bones, after destroying the Humerus, the bullet carry on going....
Groundhogs and yotes, with small fast bullet 100gr and below: watchout the effect is pretty devastating.
(Formerly) she was shooting with and Od6, but she didnt liked the kick. yes she is pretty weak and flimzy. now shooting a 243.
but I have used her rifle quite much, and liked it a lot.
Its too sad they dont built something betwen the 30-06 and the 25-06, like a 6.5-06.
They do custom made some, but factory, it would be awesome.
my 2 cents.
Sold my 300 wsm, tired of the ridiculous recoil/punch and get beatted.
Bought a 270wsm instead, but a 6.5-06 would have caught my attention for sure.
, I opted for the same model, but in 25-06.
, hasn't yet been used on any of it's intended victims.
