Basically, the 25/06 adds about 100 yards of deer killing range(energy) to what you get with the 243. On coyotes, it's higher velocity cuts wind drift by 1/3 and holdover by an amount dependant on bullet shape. I've used both and find the 25/06 just that "little bit better" to fit my needs vs. the 243.
