I had a beautiful Remmy 700 Classic 25-06 I purchased new in 1990. Like a dummy, I cannibalized it and turned it into a 6-06, which I later sold. Don't get me wrong, the 6-06 was a wonderful rifle and cartridge, but I miss the 25-06. Shot 100 gr Sierra Pro-Hunters(#1620) into tiny 5 shot groups. Killed my biggest deer with this rifle/bullet.
