25-06 on a 400 yd shot at an elk? I'm a subsistance hunter, the elk would be food in my freezer. If all I had was a 25-06 I'd use in with confidence ut not at a elk at 400yds. I don't need something to brag about, what I need is food in the freezer! matter of fact I wouldn't even take that 400yd shot with my 30-06, still need food in the freezer. I believe shooting beyoind the MPBR, max oiunt blank range, of the cartridge your using is irresponsible as hell! I have taken only one shot at big game in my life much oer 250 yds, it was 330yds on the range finder and just to say I did it! Pretty sorry reason for taking the shot.
