Some years I hunt more with the 25-06, say when mule deer and antelope are what I seek. And the bigger bore rifle plays a backup role.

Some years I hunt more with the 30-06, perhaps black bear or elk are on the schedule. And the smaller bore rifle plays the backup role.

I like 'em both and have been successful with them both. Am careful to not mix up the ammo!

Yeah, that could be a blast, literally, LOL! That's why Remington made the shoulder of the .280 Rem. (7mm Express), .050 longer than the .270 Win. to prevent chambering the .280 in the .270.
