O believe me it would not be the first deer that this particular 243 has killed. It is however very heavy and a pain to carry. Have never thought about the 25-06 honestly. How does it stand up to the 270 in terms of energy and penetration at medium range.
By the way my dads when he was younger hunted with a 25-06 ( he stopped hunting when his dad passed) dad says a 25-06 to the neck at any range makes very short work of any white tail.
