I had a 25-06, very accurate. the caartridge is a barrel burner though. I burned out my barrel in like 500 rounds of not so hot stuff. Good for light skinned, smaller big game. I re chanbered it in 6.5x55 and am glad I did. 6.5x55 is great for just about anything in my book. It is primarily my deer and antelope round but I would be willing to bet that the cartridge has taken more moose that just about any one. The cartridtge was developed in Sweden and thay have a lot of moose there. I just sold all of my 25-06 reloading stuff and will never go back. Now the .270 is just about as perfect of a cartridge that a guy could ask for. If I ever went back to a .257 cartridge, I would do 257 Roberts, it is a 7x57 necked down. You can get all but about the last 100fps that you can with a 25-06 and shoot your barrel forever.
My favorite cartridges:.223,6.5x55,270,7x57,30-06.
