[QUOTE="jwv, post: 2270853, member: 16915"] I gave my son a Winchester Model 70 about 12 years ago. he has killed every deer he has ever shot at. I had always used a 30-06 for over 20 years, a great caliber and all, but I got tired of the recoil.I re-barreled my Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 to a 25-06 with a barrel that I got from Brownells , It was short chambered so it was not hard to head space and finish cutting the chamber. I used some Rem. 100 grain to sight it in and break in the barrel. My son told me to try the Federal Fussion in 120 grain. The gun would shoot 3/4" groups if I do my part. It worked out great for me, the only thing I have seen on the 25-06 is that some will shoot better with the lighter 100 grain bullets and some prefer the heavier 120 grain bullets, I don't know why that is but either is more then enough for Deer. Good luck on your choice. [/QUOTE]
