25-06 is the least likely of the '06 family to suffer mag-box/seating near/into lands fitment. The 25-06 feeds effortlessly with that gentle shoulder angle, long tapered case, and a bullet that's probably NOT jammed right into the end of the mag box. 100gn TSX/TTSX @3300+ doesn't kersplode pelts and is quite the effective deer putter-downer.

They flooded the market with 6.5's so ammo will be easier to get

I'm interested in how more barrel twist will lead to longer and bigger bullets for the 06.

I've had a 25 since 1993.



Love that killer.

That's about the same year as I got mine. All I knew is that is had the same brass as a 30-06 and smaller bullet like a 0.243. High speed flat shooter I'm in. I've killed a lot of deer and Antelope with that rifle. I need a new stock though.

Only the cool kids shoot a 25-06. :cool:

59 gr of RL-22 (I believe, I'd have to look to make sure. I haven't loaded for it in a while) and 100 TSX have whacked many deer and vermin. Right at 3300 fps

Actually the rifle in my avatar is a Rem. 700 Mtn in 25-06. It's a killer!

What rifle do you have that needs a stock?

Not where I'd like to be
Yeah, wow, it "beats" the Creed by using between 18% and 45% (depending on the powder) more powder in a long action case. My 7mm Rem mag "beats" my Creed too I guess...
Cartridge debates are kind of dumb, they all have their place.

I don't think the Creed is being slighted. It's about the old guys showing they still have relevance.
