Shot a bunch of stuff with the .243 and standard bullets and a fair amount with the 25-06. The 25 seems like more gun even when both are shooting 100 grn. bullets.

Might be some psychological mojo thing but I have heard others including a couple of guides say the same.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
