An ADDENDUM -
I don't shoot factory ammo. I handload. The only factory ammo I've bought in YEARS has been
270 W in 2007 when my stuff was packed up.
300 WM in 2008 and just bought the rifle on OPENING day of our Deer Season. Sighted in on Mon and killed my biggest bodied buck on Tuesday with that gun.

It's all in fun for me. For the modest shooting distances available to me in my hunting area almost anything will do. 300 yards is a far piece there and deer aren't that hard to kill. This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have a 700 Classic in 250 Savage that will be one of the fair weather pop guns. It would be fun to get the biggest buck from my camp with the smallest cartridge used. Give the 7mm and 300 mag guys something to think about.  Do it !!! I put away my .308 years ago, now it's all been .243 & 25-06 !
So, so much to like here !

Jerry What a stud. I bet you get sick of folks asking for your autograph whenever you're out in public.

But I can recognize s**t stirring when it appears on the Internet, especially when the facts are carefully chosen (or left out) to appeal to certain readers. Yup... the old Carp on this site are quick to that sort of bait.

Everything pales when compared to the .270!!!! Mostly, people faces when they see a dude running a gay 270 Win. 😂😎

I prefer the WSM 270 for its super-gayness, mucho more. 😎

No flies on the 25-06 but you're not going to get me to give up my creedmoor. Don’t give it up, get a 25-06, you can not have too many rifles!!!

And the sh*t is I already ordered dies, shellholder, and cases too. Dang. At least I have got my trusty old Mauser 25-06 as a backup if I get taunted in camp. Proceeding with caution, Rex

This from an article by Ron Spomer. https://sportingclassicsdaily.com/2...;mc_cid=c29b894b9d&mc_eid=84ca3375c6The 25-06 shoots flatter--a lot flatter--at 600 yards than the 6.5 Creedmoor or the .270, despite the fact that most 25-06 twists are 1:10 and no one really makes a high BC bullet in .257 diameter. At 600 yards the 25-06's wind deflection is only 2.5 inches less than the Creedmoor. Not bad for a 121 year old cartridge. The 25-06 was designed in 1898?

Beaver that's one of those inefficient old broke down long action cartridges that falls to the earth shortly after passing the 50 yard line, completely out of steam. It's been around so long it is no longer a viable cartridge. The bullets that come out of that thing act like a Little Caesars box upon leaving the barrel. They hit with the force of a nerf ball. You've probably never heard of it.
Kimber Select 25/06. Bought it here when the previous owner was told it was worthless because the bullets aren't any good.

I continually hear reference made to the wonderful 270 Winchester as a “Gay” cartridge. What’s that all about? I know a small army of hunters who use the cartridge and such a comment made in camp near them might just ruin your hunt!

It’s said a lot, and only meant as a compliment to the bejeweled accessories those that use one wear...Grins 😂😎

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I have used the 25/06 on Bull Elk and moose( np's) in my twenties, the .308 I have need of and the Creedmoor no purpose for.
I feel any 30/06 fan, will like the 25/06 alot, for different reasons. My 700 shoots bugholes for me on paper, recoils little, It is still the most accurate rifle I own.
I don't mind a guy stirring it up in a gun page.
