Pretty funny. I bumped one of the oldest threads I could find and 11 years later, still no "answer".
Always good stuff.

Yes the difference is .020" in bullet diameter
and the .270 bullets can weigh more. I have a box of 125 gr Barnes originals which is the heaviest I have found for the 25-06.
You can easily find 160 gr .270 bullets.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

There is so much overlap it is ridiculous.
Just imagine a small sporting goods store trying to have an inventory of rifle and handgun ammunition. How much money would you have tied up.
And then people want obsolete ammo for Granpas gun too.

Years ago I went elk hunting just outside of Steamboat Springs Colorado.
We were able to buy our way onto some private land to hunt elk. The rancher was 5th generation.
He used a Ruger 77 in 25-06. I was suprised by
that and his response was that "If you hit em right it doesn't matter what you hit em with.
IF you hit em wrong it doesn't matter what you hit em with either." This pretty much sums it up for me. I have several quarterbore rifles and they get used often. I have a .270 that was given to me and it rarely comes out of the safe. It is a decent beater,(Rem 700) but it will probably be donated to some young person who needs help.

A thread to learn from with both Billy Tibbe and Safaricon spouting their "wisdom" Indeed. The idiot who resurrected this idiotic thread is inviting a virtual horse-whipping, in my estimation. Did a quick count on one of Safaricon's (I like that!) posts and I am amazed there are enough "I"s left on the internet to continue communicating!
