The 25-06 Rem IMO could be at it’s best with today’s available powders. It was hell on game when it was a wildcat with no good powders or bullets available. With today’s powders it could reach it’s optimum performance. Unfortunately it now appears to be handicapped because of the lack of high BC bullet availability and hunters that think they need a 1,000 yard rig for all their needs. In truth it’s great for a low recoiling zipper of a round that puts game down. Trouble is most want a chamber that could be a bit more reliable on larger game at a distance, enter the 270 WCF.
