The 25-06 was my first center fire rifle and it killed the first half dozen deer I shot, plus quite a few other critters. Then my son and a friend used it to kill antelope and deer. I still have that gun and I’m guessing it’s still highly effective for deer size animals.
The trend today, in an effort to sell more rifles, dies etc it long for caliber bullets and fast twist so you get an inch or three less drop at 600 or 800 yards. Nothing wrong with that, but that has zero interest to me.
