Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 25-06 Performance on Elk & Moose?

I disagree with the logic. I used to use a .25-06 on deer and antelope and it was fine. A .30-06 would be an advantage on elk and moose because they are large, heavy boned animals. A .25-06 slug is smaller and not that much faster. If you have a .30-06 you are going backwards by rebarreling it to a .25-06.

The pics on this thread show a lot of deer and an elk calf.

I agree with NWO that a well placed shot with bullets that hold together from a .25-06 is better than a shot from a magnum caliber someone is afraid of.
