258: 25-06 vs 30-06 Cartridge Comparison

I have another cartridge comparison for you today where we’ll compare the 25-06 Remington and the 30-06 Springfield. I think most hunters would agree the legendary 30-06 Springfield is an excellent all-around hunting cartridge. While it does indeed offer many advantages to hunters, it’s not perfect. Indeed, cartridges like the 25-06 Remington handily outperform the old 30-06 in some areas. But on the other hand, the 30-06 is a significantly better choice than the 25-06 for other uses. So which one is best for you? Well, that’s what I’m going to talk about in this episode as I break down the 25-06 vs 30-06 debate in detail and give you the information you need to determine which one is best for your individual needs.
