Ive got a 25Gibbs and a 270 Gibbs. I dont shoot them a whole lot but I have killed deer with each one. Ive never had any problems with them but yes they are more work. We have fireformed our brass too with a few grains of powder and some cream of wheat. The choice is totally up to you but the deer I have shot with mine did not react any differnt than the deer I have shot with a 25-06 or a 270 Winchester.
