I have a buddy that had a .25 and had a streak of about 15 one shot kills on whitetails. He was not really satisfied with how quickly it put them down so he traded for a .270 and was much happier with it.

Now having said that I don't remember what bullets he was using in each rifle and I'm sure that plays a major part...

I for one see no advantage in the .25 since I have a .243 and .270. If I was buying a first rifle I would consider the .25

I wish they would have called it the .257 Remington though I can't hardly stomach anything with ought 6 in it<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
