270 Win is .277 caliber...25-06 is .257 caliber...
Both are wildcats that came from a 30-06 hull...
25-06 with good constructed bullet is a deer assassin ...tad better ballistics as far as speed vs a 270...
But using a 165gr 30-06, bullet, a a 130gr 270 and a 120gr 25-06...not counting recoil...within 300 yards you're only talking a couple inches in trajectory difference
A 25-06 is a good choice, lighter recoil...but doesnt have the myriad of bullet weights the 30-06 enjoys...
If my go to 30-06 needs swapping cause its recoil bothered me...I'd sure look at a 25-06

Shot my first deer with a 25-06 this morning. Gonna be taking this rifle more often. 117gr Hornady did it's job.

Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

 Never noticed how close they are in size. The second from the left is a 270. Third from left is a 25-06 You should have a 280 in your line up it's really close to a 270. 7mm-06

Set my 11yo up in a 25-06 tikka with a conquest and I find myself taking it when he doesn't.
I'm a lil more partial to the 100gr core lokts.

I wouldn't trade my 280 for either of them. .280 rem. Isn't that another 30.06 necked down? 30.06 casing=30.06 =.280rem =.270 =25.06 Yep. It went back and forth from being called 280 to 7mm Express back to 280.

I have both. I like the 270 a little better but the 25-06 is deadly with TTSX 100s and 110 Accubonds!

I love my 25-06.Mine really likes the 120 grain fusions.What I really like is the lack of recoil.It really increases shot confidence.

I've always wondered why they don't call a 25-06 a 257-06 or ,257 and call a .270 a .277? If ya round up .270/.277 should be a .280 and a .284/7mm should be a 7mm-06 ( same bullet on a .308 is 7mm-08) , not a .280 .
