[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2554067, member: 36951"] For a mix of speed/performance and pieces parts availability, a 25-06 is hard to beat. It is probably not top of the heap performance-wise, and incapable in factory standard twist rates of handling long, heavier bullets. But a 100 at 3300 isnt a slouch and is still deadly and flat-ish for a goodly distance. Past that, where holdover/scope adjustment is necessary, a larger diameter and heavier bullet is welcome. I mostly use my 26” 25-06 for marmots. Im happy to 500ish. The 100 game king is soft enough to be impressive to there. If you go up in target animal mass from deer, more speed and a harder bullet would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
