Both are excellent deer cartridges. Obviously the .25-06 will shoot a bit flatter but you really have to reach out there for any real advantage.

A .270 Win is arguably the best deer-only cartridge available.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
