25-06 for elk?

Brain Fart!

Just realized the 25-06 I sold was to you Sureshot!

How's your son doing with it ?

Have you tried any bonded bullets in it?

I would go with a nosler partition or a bonded bullet like accubond or interbond

Smashed a black bear , through and through with a corlokt and was impressed.

An accurate shot is always the most important.

Love the 25-06. Had 2 of them and sold one to fund optics for the other. Both guns have been accurate

It's actually the gun you sold me for my sons birthday.

I use a 243 for moose and elk.
I've shot elk at 600 yards with it.
Its about knowing your gun and most of all knowing where and when to shoot.
A 2506 will work just fine.
You can't shoot an elk in the @$$ with it and expect it to die like some people do with a 338.

Store bought Winchester bullets from Canadian tire. 100 grain.
