I have both. The 260 kills better.
Here, hold my beer and watch this!

I have neither and I haven't shot either, but I have extensively reviewed the ballistics charts - the 25-06 has a flatter trajectory at "reasonable deer ranges". David

My 260s with 22 inch barrels routinely shoot 100 grain bullets at 3350 fps, with 43.5 grains of powder...the 24 and 26 inch barreled ones move them even faster....
The 260 has nothing to apologize about to the 25/06 at all....

Not if you use the Hornady 120 Hollow Point in the 25-06 ahead of 50/H4350 an amazing killer.... try it you'll like it.

If the goal is to fling moderate-BC bullets at high speeds with minimum recoil, the 25-06 is the winner. 100gr E-Tips or SSIIs with RL17 make a flat-shooting combo with their .400-ish BCs. For nearly anything else, the 260 makes better sense.

...the 260 makes better sense. This one's getting warm. Higher BC projectiles in a more efficient cartridge. If hunting anything larger than whitetails, the 260 is the clear choice. I'd pick the 260 for easier hits and better penetration at longer range.Up and down is easy, left and right is where the difficulty lies.

Yeah, I would go with 260 over a 25-06.

I have harvested over 25 Whitetails over the years with
the 25-06. A very deadly and accurate caliber in capable hands.
I have not tried a .260 and never will, no need.

This is silly just get a 264WM 100gr hp at 3800fps and have some fun. Or 160gr PPSN at 3100fps. Chuckle Chuckle

The 25-06 is the little brother of the 270, which makes it a little gay
