As much as I’ve always loved the 25-06 as a deer/coyote round, even with a fast twist and heavy bullets it’s not gonna be all that a 270 can be. Low recoil and fast and light are where the 25 shines, but if we stay as they come off the rack, there’s a lot to be said for a 150gr 270 vs a 117gr 25 on bigger stuff or hard angles. If you want to go fast twist and heavies, the 270 is far closer to the 280 than the 25-06 is to the 270.
