What make is yours? I have a chance to rebarrel my Rem. M-700 30-06. I am seriously thinking about it, especially if I move to KS. I will definately benefit from having the 25-06 vs. the 30-06.+1, with previous replies.
25-06 good caliber for predators.
If you dont want to damage too much the pelts choose a hard point bullet and it will do just fine. I just hunted 3 of them these past weekend with a 25-06 and it worked very well.
