Why get a 25 when I can get a 30??” - Mark Boardman. What’s the deal with this “25-06” cartridge that so many of you have requested we do a 10 minute talk about and why is it so great? Could it even “Stomp the 6.5 Creedmoor” within 500 yards on deer? You’ll have to listen to find out!

My ex wife bought me a Remington 700 ADL in .25-06 about 30 years ago...she is gone the rifle is still with me! I consider myself the winner in that exchange!
😂👍
Amen to that!
Preach brother
You should have given her a longer head start. 😆
@@Aaron-mn8gw still has his 25-06 though..some times that may just be enough
When he said that the 25 06 beat the 6 5 Creedmoor, my heart skipped a beat. I will forever cherish this video 🥰🤣🤜😵.
6.5 is so. Overrated... 270 or 2506 both better
@jonnyweaver1912 - in a way, you're right (overrated). The whole point of 6.5 is cartridge/action length... same reason for development of .300 Blackout.
My dad bought me a 25-06 when I was a kid. It’s been my favorite rifle for 30 years now.
My father gave me his 1971 Ruger in 25-06 when I was in high school. It’s been my go to rifle for 30 years as well. I plan on replacing the original Scope Chief with a much clearer Vortex.
@@HarrisonCountyStudio I like high end scopes but being an all American rifle like that I would think about luepold just due to good warranty and American made..
.25-06 is a beast if you know how to shoot, your definitely not going to shoulder over a elk, but if you are a confident shooter you can take elk all day with neck/heart/lung shots at 500. Deer and antelope are toast, and 75gr hand loads for coyotes are the bomb.
I own a 25.06 and it’s one of the most accurate guns I have
I DO AS WELL...MY GO TO RIFLE...VERY ACCURATE...LESS SOUND
I have used 25-06 for years. Good friend uses one too. I have dropped 2 moose, 4 black bear, dozens of caribou and 3 wolves. Every one shot with 100gr TSX. Only shot twice at a moose one time to prevent him from dying in the river he was wobbling towards. My friend has had much more luck. He has at least twice the animal count I do. 25-06 is all you need if you use a tough hunting bullet like a partition or monometal (TSX, GMX)
Just purchased 25/06 in weatherby vanguard can't wait to test it
25 06 all day long. Best gun I've ever owned I love it
I've had a 25-06 with a 26" barrel, zeroed in at 250 yards. Midrange trajectory is 2.9" and drop at 300 yards is 3.5". AT 250 yards it has 1582 lbs of energy remaining based on a Hornady 117 gr BTHP Interlock. Granted, it was adopted as the 25-06 in 1969 but, Charles Newton necked down the .30-06 Springfield cartridge in 1912 to create the original wildcat that became the 25-06.
.25-06 with a 1 in 7½ twist barrel and the 130+grn bullets smoke the 6.5 Creedmoor all day long like a laserbeam.
I've owned two 25-06s and I love this cartridge. It does everything I need it to do as I don't hunt anything larger than whitetails. Very underrated cartridge in my opinion. I also own a 270 which I like really well but it wont kill a deer any deader. Never shot a 6.5 cm and don't think I need to.
I invested a whole 205 dollars in a used Remington 700 ADL 25-06 in 1981, and can’t even count the animals it has dispatched never had a deer take a step after being hit. It’s been sighted in at 200 yards, with a 3 shot group you could cover with a quarter… and in 2022 my oldest son took a prong horn at just over 400. It’s definitely an underrated cartridge.
If you harvest aka kill enough deer, there will always be a few that takes a few steps.
You know nothing about 25-06 until you’ve reloaded. It is wicked fast and holds its own. Beats 6.5 creedmore.
Probably beats the 6.5 PRC too
Creedmoor is popular, in part, because of the AR-10 platform. The 257 Roberts is excellent, so the 25-06 is obviously better.
@@tomcurran8470I want a 257 Roberts or 204 ruger
Second rifle I ever bought was a Ruger M-77 with a fairly heavy barrel in 1989 when I was 17. I put a rather cheap Burris 3-9 X scope on it, bought two boxes of 117 gr ammo, sighted in, and killed three cow elk, three muley does, four bucks, and two coyotes before I finished that second box of ammo. Fine cartridge.
Shoot a 6.5x55 Swedish, cartridge designed in 1893, in a rifle made in 1900. Will outshoot a creedmore, and has done for 100+ years..
doesn't fit in an ar10 mag though. that's kinda why 6.5 CM is so badass. 6.5 x 55 would be better compared to a .264 winmag
Bought a Tikka T3 Lite in a 6.5X55 and it is my favorite whitetail rifle.
I used a .25-06 when I first got into PRS. 3100 fps on 85gr BT and 2900 117gr SST made 1000 yards easy and with authority. Beautiful cartridge!
Ryan is a wealth of cartridge knowledge. I could see myself talking to him for hours at the range.
It is amazing how many people these days are so worried about ballistic coefficients yet most cannot tell you a thing about what it is or why it is OR is not important... I blame the creedmoor craze for that..
No I blame stupid people who act like sheep for that.
I've shot a Howa 1500 in .25-'06 for Arizona Coues deer for a long time. There are scores of excellent cartridges, but the .25-'06 is definitely one of the best for open country game shooting. Mild recoil and excellent ballistics. I have literally spun several Coues deer with 117 grain Hornady Superformance SST cartridges.
Bought a model 70 in 25-06 my lord it’s deadly accurate
This guy below says it all. Shoots flat like a .22-250, low recoil like a .243, and hits hard like a .270. In fact it has better ballistics than a .270. The .270 got better publicity as Winchester's Rifleman's cartridge. Ballistic coefficients don't matter at hunting distances. BC bullets are not hunting bullets when it comes to terminal ballistics. BC bullets are bench shooting bullets designed to shoot farther than ethical hunting distances. The .25-06 suffers from a lack of bullet variety (specifically heavier bullets) and better twist rates. Not a lot of bullet selection in .25 caliber. The .25-06 is the most underrated hunting rifle cartridge but it sure does excel at taking deer. The old wood stocked Savage 110 in .25-06 was just an awesome rifle. Selling it when young and stupid was a regret. kzhead.info/sun/dNKmeqWeeYmimZ8/bejne.html
As I recall there are 75,85,100,110,115,117,and 120gr bullets available in .257 caliber and I may have missed a couple. As far as young and dumb I sold my Ruger#1 SS in 25-06. It came with a 26"barrel and was shorter overall than most bolt guns with 22". Massive regret here.
Totally agree...The 25-06 is the most underrated HUNTING RIFLE CARTRIDGE that is way more than just a deer hunting cartridge. I bought my first hunting rifle cartridge in 1981 from a very knowledgeable gentleman who had a license to sell firearms. He opened up 1 of his safes in his home after I told him that I was interested in buying a 25-06. That 1 safe alone had nothing but rifles in the 25-06 caliber. I still have that pretty wood stocked Ruger M77 and I have taken all types of game from small whitetailed deer in central texas to larger mule deer, pronghorn, and 1 cow elk in wyoming. That rifle has also accounted for several texas exotics, feral hogs, coyotes, and prairie dogs. The rifle is accurate and lethal with very tolerable recoil. I am glad that I have kept that rifle because rifles in 25-06 caliber are becoming very difficult to find. Using good 117 or 120 grain bullets for hunting larger big game animals and using 100 grain bullets for medium sized big game animals and varmints, I have only lost 1 whitetail deer after being shot and hit solidly. All other game and varmints shot and hit have either fallen in their tracks or they have never run more than 50 yards from where they were shot.
Pleasant, informative discussion. Thanks.
I never even shot a .25-06 but I love everything I read and hear about it . If I had it to do all over over again I would have purchased the .25-06 instead of my .243 . Speaking of great cartridges based on the “.06” case , I would enjoy a video to hear your thoughts about the .280 Remington 😉 I do own one of these ( in a Winchester model 70 featherweight)
The 25-06 is imho the best all around cartridge for hunting deer sized big game and varmints. If I could only have one rifle it would be chambered in this round. Fortunately I dont have to have just one rifle.
i have used the 25-06 since 1979,, used them on elk lots,still do,,and everything else i hunt,,never have lost any game with a 25-06,, i have 7 rifles in this caliber ,,,its one of the best cartridges out there,, i load my own ammo,,for serious hunting,,it beats the 6.5 creedmoor,,,regardless of what is wrote about that cartridge, i have several 6.5 s,, but will trade them off,,,,not very impressive,,a faster twist 25-06 would be what i will try next,,,,,,with the new heavier bullets,, it should be impressive,,,
If a rifle manufacture didn't make a rifle in 25 06 but you really liked that model of rifle what would your next choice be?
Such a great episode , thanks !!!
Roy Weatherby's favorite cartridge was the .257 Weatherby Magnum. I killed my first buck with a Rem 700 bdl in 25-06 with a handloaded 120 grain Speer. I am a firm believer in a bullet that does not exit but dumps all of energy inside the cavity. A 22-250 is the quickest killer I have ever hunted deer with! 22-250 handloard 60gr Hornady hp interlock. The first two centerfire cartridges N. Carolina approved for deer was a 220 Swift and the 22-250. **Realistic distances like out to 450 yds 25-06 or 275 22-250.
I knew a guy in northeastern Vermont who hunted those big northern whitetails with a 22-250 and I thought he was either irresponsible or nuts. But thinking about it, if you can hunt deer with a 223/556, then a 22-250 with a good bullet makes sense. The parent cartridge, 250 Savage was classic deer medicine in the lever action 99.
Love your pod cast keep up the great work
I built a 25-06 on a K98 action with a douglas supreme barrel, back in the early 70’s. Sold it when I joined the Navy. Most accurate rifle I’ve ever owned. Groundhogs in summer, deer in winter. That rifle is still being used for varmint and deer control on a major airport to this day. Hands down, my favorite rifle round, now own a Savage 110 in 25-06.
This caliber has very quickly became my #2 behind my 7mm-08. Came to this caliber in my 50's and it is not to far off my favorite.
This year was the first time I ever heard of the 25-06 round and I hunted with someone who used a rifle chambered in 25-06 and he said that it's one of his new favorite cartridges to hunt with.
I've only ever taken a single deer in my entire life. I shot a trophy black tail on mount hood in Oregon on opening day, I shot it with my dad's 25-06. Certainly a memory that I'll never forget.
25-06 and 257 wby will always be my favorite calibers
I have a older Ruger 77V in 25-06 and absolutely love love love it !!! Cream puff to shoot all day at the range and can easily dump 200rds thru it in a t-shirt with no worries.
Just picked up a 25-06 early this year, I like the light and fast calibers.
My hunting partner in high school (1970's rural Mo) had a 25-06 and me a 243. We tuned a lot of ground hogs into 2 smaller "hoglets" in soybean fields from barn lofts with those rigs and some help from Sierra
Love the Spam on the shelf! Great video!
Would like to see a video on the 35 Whelen
Wow. First comment I read as I came here to say the same. I'd love to see a video on the Whelen. We've had a .25-06, now lets have a .35-06!
I agree on that
Me too and I own two .35 Whelens.
I would like to see a vid on the Whelen as well!
I sold my WBY 270 because of broken bones. 25-06 feels great and I just love going to the range to shoot it. I love making reloads and playing with it.
I have a ruger no. 1 chambered in 25-06. Hands down my favorite white tail rifle
Love this channel, put Ryan on a shirt lol I could listen to him go on about calibers all day at work.
It’s my favorite deer and antelope cartridge. My most accurate load is a Speer 120 grain boat tail. 49 grains of H4350. Winchester LRP. My rifle is a Remington 700BDL.
I helped farmers put up hay when I was a teenager and saved money for a rem 700 bdl in2506 . My dad had to buy it for me cause I was under age and now I'm in my 60s and still hunt with it
so happy you guys did the 25-06 ive been waiting :)
also if you guys could do a little history lesson on the different 762x rounds aand their differences... I feel that would be interesting.
@@zachshuffield7765 Noted! :)
First time I took my Son Antelope Hunting he was using my Remington 6mm Rem and I told him if he shot a Antelope with 15 inch prongs I would buy him a new rifle. Well he did shoot a nice Antelope and on are way home Stopped in Mitchell SD and bought him a 25-06 in a Remington 700 CDL why because it is a Great Western Cartridge for anything smaller than Elk.
I relate to him saying people of small stature. I love big bores but for rifles my back can't handle it for very long. I do have a 8mm Rem. Mag & I have handguns up to 500mag. I'm 5'7"ish 140lbs. with sever spine curves ( yes plural ) so my short barrel 25.06 is a keeper.
Nicely done!
Excellent round. Love mine!!
🤜🤛
I've use my 25-06 all the time now for Deer . They go down , and unlike a lot of cartridges nowadays , I can eat 95% of the edible parts .
I have 2 Savage rifles in 25-06. One is a standard tapered barrel and the other is the 110FP (For Police) heavy barrel rifle with a 24" barrel. I put it on a Choate Machine and Tool Ultimate Varmint Stock. The heavy barrel combined with the Choate stock makes for a very heavy rifle but is one hell of a combination for shooting groundhogs and coyotes while resting the weapon over round hay bales with my Harris bipod.
Just bought a good condition Ruger M-77 in 25/06.Looking forward to seeing what it can do.I heard so many good things about flat shooting,had to buy one.
im suprised the 25 06 isnt more popular
two big reasons why: Reason 1: ammo is not as easy to find as its older brother's 30-06, partly due to lack of popularity. Reason 2: the ".25" caliber vs ".30" caliber, bigger is better mindset, As an avid hunter, I ponder: "what if I want to go bag a bear, my 25-06 is too small to bring one down." Mind you, in my 30+ years of hunting, I have never gone bear hunting. Oh, and I have a 25-06, my favorite long range riffle.
@@ocrockstar82 Let’s not forget that the 270 was already very popular.
@@nmelkhunter1 can't disagree with you there, 270 is really good deer round. more popular so you'll have plenty ammo choices.
@@ocrockstar82 25-06 is a great black bear round. Maybe not a grizz though. Lol
@@JAKDRZR have you taken down a black bear with a 25-06, if so I might just give it a try. Though I may take a 44mag just as an insurance policy on my hide.
I went to college with a dude that ran a .25-06. He made a custom stock for it and re-blued it. Looked and shot sweet.
Love the 25-06!!
The rain man dropping his history nuggets
I feel fortunate to have grown up among a family of handloading , bolt action toting deer and varmint hunters , giving me the edge on many who don,t realize the potential of calibers like the 25/06 and the 7mm rem mag both of which I have and love.Along with my rem 783 3006 I think there is no better trio of calibers out there, since this is about the 25/06 suffice it to say with 120 gr noslers it's taken 16 deer that never knew what hit them.
Thanks for the support of this cartridge and it's capability. I have one myself a Remington 700, I won't drop it, nor change my mind. On the business end where it matters...a beast! My question is, no criticism here I know Hornady has a 75grn V-max that I have loaded up with and that has caused some chucks and yotes to loose there minds, as did the 87grn Speer TNT. Is Hornady now offering the V-max in the 87grn version?
I posses a ruger no. 1 in 25-06. Every mule deer I’ve shot with it looked like it fell asleep where it was standing with 100 grain gameking. It’s absolutely the finest deer cartridge I’ve ever shot.
Ive got a Ruger#1 Heavy Barrel with a leupold , i love it
My first center fire caliber, have taken a huge amount of deer with it. Reloading, like with most calibers, brings out the best in it. At one time Remington produced a 122gr ER (extended range) load that my Remington 700 loved. A 115 Silvertip took tons of deer, but not ideal for less than 100 yards.
The 25-06 is my favorite cartridge for whitetail.. Hornady loaded a 90 grain GMX in 25-06, and if I’m not mistaken the BC was identical to the SST 117 grain. Dynamite on whitetail, fast and flat. Knocks a hole in them too, does a fantastic job.
I'm with you Austin. I've been using the 25-06 here in Australia on goats for some 16 years and it's bloody awesome. I'm now using Hornady 110 grn ELD-X. I reticently hit 3 goats in succession at 610 yds and just punched straight through both shoulders on all 3. Despite some 25-06 haters here in Australia, I wont stray from what has been a fantastic caliber for what i shoot
Back in the day the 257 AI was a popular deer cartridge that worked well. 120 grain and 100 grain bullets were popular.
Being the owner of having a Marlin 25-06.Rem, I will say that it's by far the BEST game calibur I've ever owned. LOVE IT 💯💯💯
I bought mine used in 1996. Commercial Heym Mauser action built some time in the late 1950s. The 120 Nosler partition will thump an elk with authority. You just need a lot of barrel to get the most out of it.
Every one that I've talked to that owns a 25-06 swears up and by it. I had a short time of working in a rifle shop that built bean field rifles, and we're always chambering one straight off of the lathe. 0 complaints about a 25-06. It was a famous wild cat favorite since the 1920's.
Very versatile round, flat shooter, low recoil. 25-06 aka "The Meat Missile"
Ryan every cartridge episode "Its a fine cartridge" I love it lol. Dude just loves guns
That I think was Outdoor Life. 500 yard range. Savage 112 in 25-06. 1.577 inch group at 500 yards. I have the article here close to hand. Just need to find the right stack.
25-06 Remington is a deer killing machine. Fantastic on deer sized game. 25-06 was the brain child of Nedner (Needner) and the cartridge was a wildcat until after WW2 when slower powders became available which helped the cartridge out and as its popularity grew Remington adopted it. 100gn bullets moving 3000 FPS and up is nasty and has turned the blood to jello on more than a few deer for me. Also, the cartridge can be loaded with lighter bullets to double up as your varmint and Predator shooting too.
I shot 25-06 with 75g v max at nearly 4000fps,it was just a globule of lead and copper at that speed,but on UK foxes it was dynamite.
My first centerfire was 25-06 and it still gets the job done if and when I want it too 40+ years later.
I own 2 and love them. My Tikka T3 favors the 100 grain at 3,401 with RL 22. My Weatherby Vanguard favor the 115 & 117’s.
We need a straight wall rifle cartridge talk! .375 Winchester!
My first deer rifle I bought when I was 16 was a 700 bdl with a 26 inch bull barrel in 25 06. Still have it. It is a tax driver.
odd six, hard six..great video
The dude in the green asked a brilliant question about twist rates. The 6mm rem a necked 257 Roberts. I believe had a 1-12 when the 243 has a 1-9. The 6mm rem could stabilize up to 90gr bullet when the 243 could support up to 115gr Bullet I hope the 6mm creedmore has a 1-8. Simple rule longer bullets need faster twist Rates.
If you shoot deer in open areas it is really tough to beat. What I think a lot of people miss is the lower recoil than the .270, hits harder than the .243, flatter shooting than most other calibers other than super expensive Weatherby’s. I put down deer very fast if I put the bullet in a good shot. It can put down Elk at reasonable distances. It does not push through brush good at all. No bullet does great but it’s the last gun I take if I might need to punch through brush. Hunting over a big field from a stand….It is ideal. Or mountain hunting where long shots are common. The low recoil helps me to quickly reacquire my target and/or take a second animal before it runs off. Plenty of power to put a deer down fast, with low enough recoil to reacquire my target fast, with enough velocity to not drop much. It’s about the easiest way to kill deer. If hunting in thick stuff I bring a slug gun or a big slow moving bullet.
Just found this great video. Been shooting and loading for the 25-06 since the early 80’s. I love how everyone is so worried about 500+ yard performance on game. I’ve spent a few hundred hours at 600+ yard public ranges and one thing I’ve learned is that probably 9 out of 10 people shooting next to me have no business shooting at game past 300. I’ve seen a LOT of shooters that read the articles on how the latest whiz bang cartridge kills elk at a mile so they show up at the range with their precision rifle topped with the $1,500 scope then hold 10” or even 15” groups at 500. I usually hear something about how their going to Montana or New Mexico for an elk hunt and the closest shot they will get is 600+. I don’t have the experience of a lot of you reading this but I’ve hunted with nearly a dozen different outfitters for pronghorn, Whitetails, mulies and elk. With the exception of a cow elk meat hunt and one mule deer hunt, every one of those outfitters frowned upon taking any shot past 300. This is where the 25-06 truly shines. My pet load for years is a max load of IMR 4831 pushing 115 partitions @ 3120. My Styer holds honest 1” groups with this load @ 200. For the Nosler PT haters I have the targets and witnesses 😉. This combo has proven to be devastating on whitetails! I’ve even taken a cull hunt red stag with with the load. One shot behind the shoulder, maybe 10 steps and the animal was down. Haven’t hunted elk in a few years now but when I do, I step up to a 7mm with 160’s or 30 cal with 180’s. Everyone has their own medicine, that’s just what works for me.
I hear you dude, cant count on both hands how many times I've been to the range with my 25/,06 or 7mm.rem mag shooting at 3 ,4 and 500 yards cuz that's my personal limit for I have too much respect for the animal to blaze away at it over that range. At 400 with with rifle I can keep my rounds inside a 6 inch circle, plenty good for most hunting situations .If the whitetail, miley or bull elk of a lifetime steps out at 500 I'm covered. So many times guys at the range misjudge range so badly it's ridiculous. I had one guy watch me shoot a 3 inch group ( my personal best ) one day at 400 and remarked how well my rifle grouped at a half mile. I informed him that the distance was 400 but he insisted it was over 800 so I whipped out my lader rangefinder , showed him the range which was 397 yards and heard him mumble that my rangefinder was off cuz he sights his 25/06 dead on at a half mile and If his target is a mile away he just holds on top of the back. GEEZ LOUISE PEOPLE ARE DENSE.
Great info. BTW, try pronouncing the 06 cartridges as aught six. That's how it was originally pronounced, for example by my dad, a WW2 vet. Bean fields are a somewhat Southern thing (I feel), where you have an elevated stand on the edge of a soybean field or cotton field. Remember the 250 Savage in the model 99 lever action also, not long range, but a classic deer combo.
Long time 25-06 shooter here. It kills way out proportion to its size. I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot anything up to the size of elk with the proper projectile. I’m currently having a fast twist 25-06 built to take advantage of newer high BC projectiles.
Assuming you are referring to the blackjacks, what twist are you going with?
Highly recommend the 25-06. I loaded some 100 Grain Swift Scirocco II, RL 22, @ 3,410 chronograph. The bullet is tough, high BC and shoots 1/2 MOA out of my Tikka T3 with a 22.5” barrel.
I have hunted deer my whole life with .243, .264 and .270 but found a left handed 25-06 and decided I needed to get me rifle I can properly run.
25-06 is a wonderful long range Antelope cartridge. Use mine on Coyotes way out there.
If you reload, for varmint hunting, Sierra makes a 70 grain Blitzking, same as the Nosler Ballsitic tip. Get 3600-3700 fps out of mine. H4350 powder.
@@SilverBullet22250 Muzzle velocity can become an obsession. The 25-06 is at its finest with the heavier bullets 117 and 120gr.
@@NoTaboos matter of opinion and you're entitled to it.
I'd love a .257 Roberts review!
Appreciate you guys doing your research. this is something I've known for quite a few years I'm 55 now I bought my first 25-06 Ruger bull-barrel when I was 16. My eighteen-year-old youngest daughter now has a 25-06 Tikka I'm so proud that she is accomplished enough now that she shoots tremendous groups even stacking one on top of another at times❗in a 10-year stretch a while back myself and a couple of my buddies would get out before the grass got too tall and drive the roads and shoot groundhogs👉👉 with my 25-06 I have took quite a few @ 500+ yards my furthest deer kill was slightly over 800! it took 2 rangefinders to get the yardage ranging one spot walking to their and rang the rest ❗❗ you guys keep doing what you do and I'll continue to follow
No way you killed any big game animal even a deer at 800 yards with a 25.06. That's complete hogwash. That bullet doesnt have the energy at 800 yards to kill a deer. I dont believe it
@@Lol-cd4ii Yeah you're probably one of those clowns that swears by a shotgun and slugs because of kinetic energy. If You don't believe that I've done it or can shoot at those distances on the regular that's on you! Maybe you're one of those that swears by the 6.5 CREEDMOOR because it sounds cool?? When the ballistics shows the 25-06 totally destroys it after 500 yd!! In my younger years I killed 50+ deers with a 22-Long &-or a 22 magnum🤔 Next some people and most likely yourself that's not confident in their ability to hit what their aiming @ that thinks you should shoot a deer in his shoulder disabling him only to need another bullet &-or a knife to finish his job!! GOOD DAY PS. THE REASON FOR TAKING 50+ DEER BACK IN THE DAY WAS WE HAD OUR CROPS BEING DAMAGED AND WERE GIVEN VOUCHERS ALLOWING US TO THIN THE HERD
@@terryeibeck8036 lol if a clown is a guy that shoots the correct calibers for game then yes I'm a clown. I hunt with a .308 cause I'm not a recoil pansy and it its ethical it kills. 25 06 my wife wouldnt even shoot. No way a 25 06 will cleanly kill at over 800 yards not a big game. It's not a good deer round past 400 yards. It's not stable enough especially in the wind it moves like crazy. Been hunting for over 20 years and I know a story when I hear one. Theres a reason the 25 06 never caught on it's not a good deer round for distance. Inside 400 it's ok. Past 400 and especially 800 yards on deer? You obviously cant hunt if your shooting 800 yards on game. If you csnt get within 100 yards of your shot you need to learn to hunt. It's like the 6.5 cm homos now are deer snipers. Learn to hunt and stalk your game not take 800 yard shots with a children's caliber that's not intended for those ranges. That's not hinting. That's shooting at animals. How is that hunting? Sounds like you need to learn how to hunt
@@Lol-cd4ii Just as I suspected 🤡 Keep telling yourself that you are this great hunter that gets within a 100 yards of your GAME 🤠 90% of all deer hunting I've done requires using a bow Not interested in a pissing contest with you Yet without even checking I've killed far bigger Deer🦌 And would be willing to bet pickup truck loads more deer than yourself!! I've taken numerous Pope and Young that I didn't even bother to cap Take Your 20 years X that by 2 and then some is the years I've been hunting In the early years of my deer hunting youth just finding a buck at all Was a HUGE DEAL AS FAR AS CALIBERS GO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR 308 KEEP AIMING FOR THAT SHOULDER!! I MYSELF POINTING OUT THAT A WELL PLACED BULLET WILL DO THE JOB NO MATTER THE SIZE. PROOF OF THAT IS WHILE WATCHING ALASKA FISH AND GAME OFFICERS SHOW THEY GOT A CALL ABOUT A BABY MOOSE HANGING AROUND AFTER THEY GOT THERE THEY FOUND OUT THE NEIGHBOR BECAUSE THE MOTHER MOOSE HAD CHARGED HER SHE SHOT IT WITH HER PELLET GUN IT WENT LIKE 50 YARDS INTO THE WOODS AND FELL DEAD THUS THE REASON FOR THE BABY MOOSE HANGING AROUND KIND OF REVISITING THAT 22 LONG RIFLE STORY / EVIDENCE I PRODUCED EARLIER. DON'T GET ME WRONG I WASN'T DOGGING YOUR 243 NECKED UP TO A 308 Good day and happy hunting 🇺🇸
Get a barrel with a1 in 8 twist for the 25:06 and long heavy bullets and you will leave the competition behind. A slow twist and light bullets are the only thing limiting the 25:06.
I can consistantly take p-dogs @ 750 yds with a 25-06 that I built when I was in gunsmithing school, love that cartridge.
I have had great success with my 25.06 for whitetail, please do a talk on the 257 Weatherby I have one of those also
My comment is going to be apples vs oranges, deer vs varmint, but people overlook these smaller caliber cartridges and they will surprise you. Probably one of my favorite cartridges that my statement applies to is the 204 Ruger...that round is cooking out of the muzzle!
great info on this round. I have a lovely 25 WSSM, which has been totally maligned. Love to hear your thoughts.
The 25 WSM has nothing on the 25/06 rem. Like 2 peas in a pod.
Yahoo!! My browning bar safari grade 25/06 all day 💯🇺🇸🗽👏👍👌‼‼‼‼
Please do an episode on .264 win mag🤙🏻
Love to see 280 Remington.
Noted!
Definitely show some love to the 280 Rem 👍🏻
Yes please , show that .280 Remington some love ❤️
Definitely do 280 Remington
I have a .25-06 and .280 rem...it's the westerners 2 gun dream team imo.
I would like to see a video on 416 Rigby and 458 Lott Curious on your thoughts :)
270 WSM would be an awesome talk!
@Vortex Nation Podcast. I have a 22” sako a7 25-06. 85gr nosler .390bc for varmit round at 3600fps. Berger 115vld .480ish bc at 3100fps. For deer sized game and longer range shooting. It’s a 1:10 twist. If it was a 24” tube it’d be even better MV.
I got a 25 ought 6 I've had it for 25 years and it's very accurate
Had one in a savage had to sell it 😢but reloaded some varmit rounds very fast over 3300 feet per second.
The .25-06 is essentially a .30-06 necked down to fit a .257 projectile. At one point, it was commonly used as a wildcat round and it does have a lot of capability for long range. At 1,000 yards, a few .25-06 rounds will hit 100 inches higher than a 7.62 x 51 round will.
I started my stepson on a 25.06 and he’ll tell you that the 25.06 is very deadly on antelope and mule and whitetail deer.
Love the 25-06. Have one in a Marlin XL7. Wish y'all would have a discussion about the 338RUM. If you have please send me a link to it
270 winchester or the .35-06/.35 Whelen, Hell just do the whole 30-06 family.
I'd like to see one on the Whelen
