caliber decision

[MachIVshooter]

Ya'll do realize that the difference in trajectory between a 25-06 a .270 and a 30-06 is less than 2 inches at 300yds with the winner being the .270

Depends on the load

And you forgot the other cartridge in this family, one that is very much worth mention, and one that I am just as guitly of not mentioning to Bigcim as everyone else.

The .280 Rem. is one ofthe most flexible cartridges extant, and one that might/should have edged out the .270, were it not for Jack O'Conner.

Seriously do yourself a favor...Dont Forget to look at a Thompson Contender and get both calibers and you will have the best of both worlds...

Then you can get another caliber...

They make barrells in 24,26,& 28"

I think for your desired outcome you could start with a TC in the 25-06.. It is a flat shooting screamer! And I would any day point a 24" TC at a mulie at 300+ yards and watch it fall!

PS TC also lists its own reloading info for all calibers, which is usually a compressed charge, and when using your fire formed brass, you can achieve the tightest groups & most accurate rifle you can imagine.

I think the single shot would probably be to repetitive for her at the range

Shes familiar with a bolt

I would go with the 25-06 out of the 2 you picked.
