I am just starting to play around with my 25-06 and really like it but have noticed that it loses a lot of energy when out to 400 to 600 yards. Does anyone have real life with clean kills on deer size game at that distance ?
Nothing beyond 500 yet and a half dozen or so between 300 and 425, but none noticed that dreaded "energy loss" you speak of thus far? Can't get much cleaner than toppling where they stood, walked or trotted.

If someone yearns to shoot heavier bullets, then let 'em use a 270. I hear they're kinda okay? Heavier bullets in a 25-06 defeats the purpose.
