su-ah yep I have cows/bulls with both the 25/06 and with the 257 Wby.

I've also shot geese with a 28 as well.........grins

I kind of find this stuff interesting as many will grab a 270/130 combo and hit the hill and never once blink. But, if you talk about a 25/06/120 combo they do blink and then some.

There is no practical dif between the two rounds and what one will do the other will as well.

Brad and I know a lot of folk out here in Montana and Wyo. A lot of these people carry 25/06's for their personal anything that moves rifle. If they read this thread about the 25/06 and elk and read all the smack being talked about it they would roll over in laughter and then go to finishing their elk steaks.
