The 25-06 is in my experience an excellent deer rifle. Ballistically, it and the .270 are so close that unless you want one to double duty as a varmint rifle, or one to double duty as an elk rifle;selection of one over the other is personal preference for white tail. Ammo availability favors the .270.
