[QUOTE="F224, post: 1290847, member: 50161"] All the the replies have raised valid points. If you're only firing 10-25 shots per day, then I think it does not matter. Once you start to shoot 100 or more daily, my experience has been that I shoot better with less blast and recoil. Although for all practical purposes the two cartridges are essentially ballisticly equal, I would suggest you consider the 6.5 Creedmore as your first choice. Less powder in the case equals less blast, and in the prairie dog towns, after 100 or so shots, the 25/06 might induce flinching sooner the a milder cartridge will, at least that was my experience shooting the 25/06. When I went to the 6.5x55 with 95gr V-max bullets, I noticed a significant improvement in my late in the day shooting with it vs my previous experience with the 100gr Ballistic Tips in my 25/06. But that was just me, your mileage may vary... [/QUOTE]
