What are if any a advantage over one or the other im wanting to pick one up in the Tikka t3 hunter and the only caliber i can find is. 243 locally . This would be used for deer/antelope.
To make this a fair and true return to the original question posed I will keep my answer to the parameters the OP put in place. Given that the OP can't find a
25-06 and is asking if there are ANY REAL advantages that the 25-06 brings over the 243 for deer or antelope at hunting distances I would say no. Buy the 243 in the Tikka T3 that you have readily available. The End. No AI's, no custom Montucky's none of the other horse chit. Get the Tikka T3 243.
