Think of it as a 243 Winchester on steroids - heavier bullets and probably better for deer than the 243. It would be a flat shooting, high velocity round, if loaded to 62K psi or so (like the 260 Remington). On the other hand, with the 260, we don't need the 25-08, but then we don't need half of the cartridges that have been introduced in the last 30 years.
