My 257 AI chronos 3050 with a 115 Ballistic tip.Thats not quite your 25 06,but pretty close.I've shot quite a few critters with it and not once have I been disappointed with the performance.

I don't,however, bust heavy bone/muscle shots.I generally do ribcage shots.

As has been suggested,the 110 gr Accubond would be a tougher option.

I've used bigger rifles on elk,but I'd take an elk with the 120 gr Nosler partition. But not past 200 yds,just for precise shot placement.
