Steve,
You are preaching to the choir when you tell me about the "killability" of the .25-06. I'm with you on the 100gr. Hornady Interlock also; I've never recovered one from a deer or antelope.
When I asked about your .25-06, I meant the actual rifle that you use. Action? Length of the Pac-Nor barrel? Trigger and pull weight? Stock? Gunsmith? Scope? Total weight? Type of finish? Any special bells&whistles?
Details, man. I need details! RS
