Currently I have;
25-06
270
30-06
300 WSM
My 13 yr old son hunted with the 25-06 last week and took a deer with it. He handloaded the 120g partition himself and destroyed both lungs with a nice chest shot. Later that week we took it to the range and consistently hit a target at 400 yds with 115g Nosler BTs. It is a very accurate flat shooting round.
Obviously I'm a fan of the 25-06 and recommend it. I've never shot or owned a 243 so I have no comment on it. When researching calibers I looked at ballistics and found the 25-06 to meet my needs over other calibers in this class.
