i don't know how many whitetails my 25-06 has taken. a few, anyway. closest one was maybe 2 or 3 feet, longest was around 350.
i don't know how many prairie dogs, either. longest being around 600 yards.
mule deer, maybe 5 or 6. closest at around 70 yards, longest a little over 400 yards.
257 roberts has taken quite a few deer and antelope, too. roughly the same ranges as the 25-06.
they killed what i wanted them to. on some of the bigger bodied deer they were not as decisive as i like, but they did kill.
