better round 25-06 or 300wsm?

Answer 1

It depends what you want to shoot. For deer, I would use the 25-06. More than enough stopping power, but it won't do too much extra damage to your meat. For bigger game, go with the .300 WSM.

But, more important than the caliber is how you shoot the rifle. Make sure that it is properly sighted in and that you can hit what you are aiming at.

Answer 2

1, Depends on how well you can handle recoil. The 25-06 will not hammer you as much.
2, I have killed hundreds of White Tail deer with a wide variety of
calibers. A well placed shot in the rib cage makes no difference if you are using a .22 Long Rifle or a .50 cal BMG , as far as meat loss is concerned. So meat damage is not an issue.
3, The 25-06 can make an excellent long range varmint rifle, using lighter bullets.
4, Either will take down any game in the lower US , so it is really up to your personal likes.

Answer 3

I am a big fan of the .25-06. It is flat and carries alot of energy. I don't care for the .300 WSM. I have a .300 Weatherby Mag that I love, but I don't use it much.

For most hunting, the .30-06, .308, .and the .270 Win are better rounds. They are flat shooting, carry alot of energy, and have relatively mild recoil, which aids in accuracy.

Answer 4

Depends on what your hunting. If your deer hunting the 25-06 is about perfect. The 300 is good for about anything in North America

Answer 5

I have both guns and I like the 25-06 the best. It's better for deer because it don't waist so much meat.

Answer 6

the 25-06 is a flater shooting gun and you want tear up near as much meat as with 300wsm big gun for small deer,elk maybe.

Answer 7

I like lighter firearms myself. they don't fatigue you as much when you have to hump a lot of gear. Also remember, heavy fire power doesn't mean that you will be better at shooting. I have done very well with a .556, 7.61, 7.62. I would save the 300 to impress idiots at the range.
