I also am on my second 25-06.

There is really not a nickle's worth of difference between the two cartridges, unless you are hunting elk. Then If I had no other choices, I would choose the 120 gr bullet from the 25-06.


I think that is the sensible cut off point. The OP mentioned a list of game up to deer and pronghorn, which are taken by the plain old .243 Winchester every year.

The newest shining light in 100grains is the Barnes TTSX which would likely negate the need for heavier bullets in .257 caliber and make the 120's moot. Accuracy for same is always spoken of so maybe there isn't a real need for heavier unless you revert to Dober and I discussing that "sometimes", both of us preferred a lead core bullet.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
