[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1121790, member: 74902"] I shoot the 25-06 and the 6.5 Creedmoor. You want the Creedmoor for 600 yard shooting and possible elk. Plus it doubles as a varmint round too. The 25-06 has it's place. It shoots a fast bullet and is accurate, but does not have the bullet weight and high BC to compete with the 6.5. The 6.5 is a little slower and not as flat shooting, but really starts to shine at distance. These days with the accuracy of rangefinders a slower, but very accurate cartridge with high BC bullets can trump a faster cartridge. Now if it were just P dogs, coyotes, and deer at varying medium ranges the 25-06 will shine. But for the 600 yard target shooting get the 6.5 Creedmoor, you will love it. [/QUOTE]
