I dont use a 25-06 but I do use the 257 Roberts, I dont know how many deer and antilope I've killed with it. I like the 87 - 90 weight bullets as I found the 120s tear up too much meat.

I dont recall ever having to shoot one twice.

Figures that if the 87-90s work in the 257, they should work in the 25-06 which shoots them faster.

Think about the 243, it works quite well and if popular. The 25s will shoot them just as fast or faster in the '06 version.
